Here is a legal article about the Frye Standard in Florida.

I am not trained in law and I don't really understand every single word at the above link. But this has interested me since I first heard of the Frye Standard and how it could possibly be applied to the evidence in KC's case.
Although the body farm is very well respected I think it's the particular test that the body farm conducted that will be put to the Frye Standard.
I'm trying to remember which tests that made me wonder which would be put to the standard and off hand:
1. The death band on the hair. (Has a standard been set on what the results of this test indicate and has that standard been widely accepted within the scientific community?)
2. Odor analysis of the trunk. (same question applies as above).
There may be others that I just can't recall right now. IMHO it's not the agency that performed the testing that is in question it's the question of if the test is regarded
widely as accepted in the science community.
I have thought about it and even if those tests are ruled to be inadmissable according to the Frye Standard in Florida it's not a big deal really. There is an overwhelming amount of other circumstantial evidence that will convict KC.
IMHO this is LKB's doing. The defense team has no other choice than to attack the forensics and attack the investigative procedures that lead to KC's arrest. I think we may have seen her use this tactic before? Get forensics thrown out or obfuscate and convolute the evidence presented to wear down and try to confuse the issues presented to the jury. (I really don't like her much but that's beside the point!).
To be honest I'm not worried about the tests not being admitted because there is an avalanche of circumstantial evidence and a few tests won't make a difference IMHO.
She's going to be convicted. But her dumb @ss should have taken a plead to a lesser a long time ago. She's headed down another long hall with a door at the end but this one will be her place in life...a cell. JMHO.
