I am pretty sure this would be unethical and illegal. I don't see what purpose it would serve the attorney either. It would ruin his reputation, and for what? I doubt he cares about his clients and privately I would imagine he has similar opinions on the case to the rest of us on here.

Agreed completely that the defense attorneys objections to the cadaver dog searches (and their accompanying attempts at discrediting the cadaver dog handlers) are ridiculous & come off as sounding desperate. If anything, this trial has made me much more appreciative of cadaver dogs & their skills - something I wasn't that aware of before this. Again, more than 1 of these skilled dogs alerting to the same place - at different times - is definitely not a coincidence.
I find it incredibly fascinating! I did some research one day after hearing about all of the impressive cadaver dogs and also listened to an episode about SAR dogs on the podcast Criminal.
I learned that dogs have something like 300 million olfactory receptors in their nasal cavity. We only have like 6 million. And FORTY PERCENT of their brain is devoted to analyzing smells! A dog’s sense of smell is powerful enough to detect a teaspoon of sugar drop in a million gallons of water. On Criminal they described how a dog’s nose works differently than ours by using a cooking example. When we smell cookies baking in the oven, a dog smells all of the specific ingredients. The dash of cinnamon, the vanilla, butter, sugar, flour, chocolate, etc!
