Expert witness in Casey Anthony case discredited Yes.Didn't a judge in a previous case forbid him to testify as an expert again?

It's in the media sticky thread posted by Pommymommy. The article is dated aug 18. I don't know how to transfer it over here
Really? LE can distinguish the time of death from hairs? We are postulating the times were something like minutes to hours apart. That sounds like some TV CSI stuff to me, not reality
My thoughts exactly -- from the very beginning. His engine-mechanics teacher (I'm not sure what to call that subject, so forgive, please) may have been very impressed with him, etc., etc., but this man hasn't shown me any practical day-to-day intelligence or drive. I don't think he is very bright, but it could also be a matter of his being too lazy to do it right the first time.I think he lacked brain required in planning.

Lazy people pizz me off. I can see Shanann doing a lot of the work at home -- she had lots of drive and energy. It could be that his parents didn't give him many chores to do at home, etc. Regardless, he got caught this time, and LE put his name on the board and are making him stand in the corner. If he does get a prison sentence, he damm well will have to complete his floor-mopping and bathroom cleaning assignments on time. Let's hope it will be thus.
Yes, the text under that headline/heading. The bolded part near the bottom
Wouldn't that talk with his father have been taped/recorded?Last paragraph in this article states he confessed to loading their bodies into his truck and dumping them at a work site near Hudson, Co.
The arrest affidavit states he told officers on Monday afternoon that he left the house at 5:27 a.m. to check on a work site near Hudson.
This is really bringing back memories of Scott Peterson in that his alibi is the same place where he dumped the bodies.
Colorado murder suspect claims pregnant wife strangled 2 young daughters
Here is the specific paragraph:
"During an interview with police two days later, Christopher Watts asked to speak to his father, saying he would tell the truth after doing so. At that point he claimed that his wife had strangled his children and he, in turn, strangled her before loading their bodies into the back seat of his truck and dumping them at the work site northeast of Hudson."
He was barred from that case. I still don’t see where he was “barred forever”. Did I miss it?
I think the discussion is based on the theory that he was planning to come back and hide SW better- perhaps he didn't have time to get her into the tank, etc.
She was too heavy to carry up the ladder?I don't agree with that theory either. The tank was already open, it was certainly less time consuming to put her in there than to dig a human size grave, even a shallow one.
There has to be another explanation.
Still not seeing “barred forever” language. Another member said they would be interested in current research on meds and violence. I respect him as a scientist. Is that ok?Yes, the text under that headline/heading. The bolded part near the bottom

Possibly, but this statement I put in quotes was published in the "Coloradoan" and pertains to what CW told LE.Wouldn't that talk with his father have been taped/recorded?

He couldn’t get rid of her car. He knew there was a camera across the street, and they had a doorbell camera. During one of his interviews he suggested she may have left out the back door where there were no cameras. Someone could have driven around back to pick her up. The stuff of hers that remained in the house would be easy to clean up. He just needed to dispose of her wallet and ID. An empty purse could go wherever she kept her purses. The suitcase, shoes, and clothes could be put away. No one would know her clothes or purses well enough to know what she may or may not have taken with her.
If SW and the girls ever rode with him in the truck, how can LE be sure the hairs collected are from that night/morning?
Ahhh, that begs the question of what was she wearing when she was found. The clothes she came home in, her pajamas, or nude?
Yes.Wouldn't that talk with his father have been taped/recorded?
Chris Watts' daughters' bodies were submerged in crude oil for 4 days (just a link that mentions this DNA info)
I'm still very perplexed as the why the defense would ask for DNA from the girls' necks. How on earth would this help CW's defense? I'm of the very strong opinion that he killed all of them. Wouldn't this DNA only confirm CW strangled them? I see no upside for the defense in this request.
Is it possible for a defense team to ask for something that they know they won't be able to get (no usable DNA after being in the oil) merely to cast a "reasonable doubt"?
Would you use him as an expert? Whoever chose him just gave the Prosecution a huge gift. The prosecutor will demolish him . .
