NG: You were trying to tell me earlier just how easily Chloroform can accidently be made?
Kob: "Yes, absolutely! Uh...Just as Dr. Lambert explained it is very easy to make it. But Nancy..let me tell you something...Let me tell you (interrupted by NG)
NG: No. He said it was fairly easy. He didn't mention anything about making it accidentally!
~snip~ (my fav quote from Kob)
Kob: "This isn't Forensic Science 101. This is Forensic Science 201. Animal decomposition can result in hundreds of compounds...one of which is Cloroform. Chloroform can also be converted to Carbon Tetrachloride (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tetrachloride) Both of these substances can be found as a result of decomposition.
Nancy takes a deep breath, interlocks her fingers under her chin, clears her throat loudly as she looks down, and slowly looks up while saying with a slight sigh: Kobi. (Big pause) There was not a dead animal in the car....up under the car....on the hood of the car....in the trunk of the car. I see where you're headed. That gives me insight where the defense is headed. They are going to use her story that she or her father had run over an animal and that created a horrible stench, but the reality is...and I will go back to Ron S. on this...cadaver dogs do not hit on animal remains."
