Byrd uses insect succession in order to determine a post-mortem interval. #PedroBravoTrial

WUFT Pedro Bravo ‏@WUFTPedroBravo 3m
Byrd says entomological evidence would not refute a date of death because many factors can delay insect colonization. #PedroBravoTrial

WUFT Pedro Bravo ‏@WUFTPedroBravo 2m
Byrd says wrapping the body or freezing the body are just 2 examples of what can delay insect colonization. #PedroBravoTrial

Good Morning!!!

Just got here. I was sure I had another hour or three before court started. Was this expert able to say the dirt samples were a match to each other?

Is this 'expert' for the State? He just chuckled and said the dirt from the shovel blade was dissimilar to the dirt at the grave?

Did he fall on his head this morning?

Yes, You may have got here just in time to hear that.

I saw that tweet after I left yesterday and came back and posted. No one was here so I expected people to be late.

I hope the State has another 'expert' in soil analyst.
 
  • #316
It doesn't matter the soil around the shovel is the soil around the shovel. Grrrrrr! imo

This defense attorney likes to confuse the jury. imo

The defense argues because Dr. Harris didn't take the sample himself, he can't say where it came from. #BravoTrial

IMO that is a valid point. Hopefully the State has testimony about where the soil came from comparing it to the dirt at the gravesite.

I guess they have been at it for 1 1/2 hrs already this morning. lol

I don't know if it is another long day or not?
