Does anyone else find it insulting to the jury's intelligence to tell them a bag of trash caused a smell which lasted at least 2 years after it was removed? I think that is just ridiculous, especially considering what was inside the trash.
A while back I was traveling and left a bag in my car that had french fries and the remains of a ham and cheese sandwich. Car sat in hot parking lot for a few days. I forgot it was in the back floorboard and kept thinking "what is that smell?" It smelled for all the world like dirty tennis shoes that had gotten wet (and I did have a pair of tennis shoes back there too, but they were clean and dry). I realized what it was, tossed the bag, and the smell vanished upon disposal of the bag. So I respectfully submit that I have firsthand knowledge that when one disposes of stinky food bag, the smell goes with the stinky bag and does not remain in the car. :giggle:
