Canadian forensic anthropologist Scott Fairgrieve joins Casey Anthony's defense

[Nosey Parker]

Not to be argumentative but Laurentian isn't in the same league of Universities as McGill is. A top notch guy would work there or University of Toronto IMO.
I don't trust any of them up here anyway since this happened. See link He was considered top notch too. Innocent parents went to jail because of this guy and his forensic science.

Cold night, kaRN, eh? Don't forget McMaster University on your list. I've always considered Laurentian just a step up from community college compared to the big 3.

 

[TURBOTHINK]

Looks like this guy is top notch in his field.

http://www.forensicscience.laurentian.ca/BiographyScott.htm

Looks like he is a specialist in skeletal remains. Specializing in trauma.

Was there anything about pre-mortum trauma?

 

[TURBOTHINK]

Actually, the article says: ""When I was first contacted by Mr. Baez, I had no idea about the case," Fairgrieve said. "But it is an interesting case. The allegations are disturbing and the discovery of the remains should be disturbing to all involved."
Fairgrieve, who is also a consultant for the northeastern regional forensic pathology unit in Sudbury, Ontario, had helped Baez in October regarding the use of cadaver dogs."

Now, WHAT would he know about cadaver dogs?

 

[Bev]

He'd know quite a lot about cadavers. He's well respected in the forensic science community.

 

[KimberDoll]

Now, WHAT would he know about cadaver dogs?

Another Canadian here with a comment
A review of his book “Forensic Cremation: Recovery and Analysis” (2008) states: “Finally, the author writes at length about the use of cadaver dogs to locate human cremains, highlighting truly extraordinary success without adequate discussion of the limitation of cadaver dogs under adverse conditions.”

 

[Bluebelle]

Why so many paid experts/hired thugs? - they must realize they don't have a prayer to get Casey off. Bummer, Casey LOL

 

[truthsleuth]

For those questioning what happened to Kobi, while he has not appeared on NG for quite a few weeks, I've noticed him repeatedly on Fox News (national) as a talking head discussing the Caylee Anthony case. Maybe he could no longer take the abuse he continually received on NG. She's brutal.

Kathy Reichs isn't Canadian but she is a forensic anthropologist in Quebec, and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Council in Canada.

Does she have dual citizenship or just U.S.?? I assumed it was dual-hmmm

I think he's rotating through the forensic community until he finds someone to support his half *advertiser censored**ed theories. Good luck with that.

To be fair to NG- the 'abuse' she handed out was when Kobi changed his opinion 180 degrees once he was hired on by the ICA defense. It was embarrassing to watch, and she called him on it, quite rightly.She can certainly make people like that squirm by bringing up previous comments which were diametrically opposed.

Blows the mind, doesn't it ?
One of these days we must open a thread analyzing why Defense Attorneys do what they do. It doesn't have anything to do with justice it seems ...

I haven't read this whole thread because yesterday is the first I've even noticed this guy's name as an defense expert so not sure if what I am about to say is repetitive -

Maybe the defense wants this guy as a witness at a Frye hearing. Sounds to me like they are gonna use him try to get the cadaver dog hits excluded.

Cold night, kaRN, eh? Don't forget McMaster University on your list. I've always considered Laurentian just a step up from community college compared to the big 3.

Depending on your field of Study, I'd like to add Queen's University to the list, also, York University
...are we sticking primarily in Ontario?

 

[Horace Finklestein]

So we can add Canada to the list of bizarre exotic locations. Great.

Do we really need the cadavre dogs when we have scientific proof of a body, hairs with death bands and decomp fluids found in all the areas the A's couldn't tamper with?
I wonder if Dr Fairgrieves child or wife went missing if he'd be running to the OPP ( his local LE) stating not to bother using the dogs. They aren't reliable. Well they sure were more reliable in helping locate the baby than her Mother was.
Weird he wouldn't have stepped in when the search for Tori S was on in his own province to assert his expertise that the cadavre dogs shouldn't be used. I guess in our semi-socialist world up here, nobody was willing to pay him his expected 'escort' fee.

Probably not,but it ties a dead Caylee (my apologies,that sounds so callous)to ICA's home and car,not Zanny's,not Jesse's,not Amy's and not Ricardo's or Roy Kronks. It also puts holes in the defense theory that Caylee was killed and moved after ICA went to jail.JMO : )

Nope I want to add Mount Allison.
From this questionable source Laurentian ranks 52nd in Canada. http://www.4icu.org/ca/

From this more reliable one.....it didn't even make the cut. Ranked 49th for places to study engineering or sciences. http://www.topstudylinks.com/Top-Universities-in-Canada-c68.aspx
