I'm thinking it might be good to bump this thread as it appears the cadaver dog evidence may be coming into play sometime this week.
I know that HHJP does not want the jury to become "witnesses" by having them smell the "cans of death" the media has been playing up which contain the air from the trunk that was sealed and has been in the FBI lab. Although I was interested to see a can being unpacked the other day in court and was wondering just how it might come into play.
After thinking about it for a bit, I'm wondering if the prosecution can somehow sidestep the issue of having the jurors smell the can outright by having an actual cadaver dog enter the courtroom to see if the dog will alert on the can when it is opened. I would imagine that would be pretty dramatic - to see a trained cadaver dog immediately alert on a can of decomp air from the trunk of ICA's car that is three years old.
The state could make the point all over again about the accuracy of the dogs and the fact that, even after time, the air in that car still smells like a dead body.
It would also destroy JB's silly claim about not being able to have a dog on the stand as a witness.
