The problem is that you really need context to recognize the scent. That is, unless you can see a dead body and smell that smell, thus associating the two things in your mind, the smell has no meaning beyond being really bad and unlike anything you may have smelled before.

This is really the heart of the matter with those claiming to know the smell. They do know it, because they've smelled a dead body and knew that was what they were smelling. It is true that it is unlike other smells. But in the absence of visual context, you just can't make the connection.

I suppose that the jury could smell the can and go, "Wow, that's the worst smell I've ever smelled (assuming the sample came out as intended), and maybe even involuntarily wretch. Given the circumstances of the collection and the testimony, they might then accept that it was te smell of a dead body. The defense, on the other hand, could always claim that in the absence of a body, there is no proof that the smell is coming from that body.

Buzzkill. I so wanted them to open the cans.
 
hmmm...casey-like, simms' demeanor changes when jury is not present.
 
DS - says reproduce testing results has nothing to do with HIM doing the actual testing and shifting the burden to the defense to perform the test

So here's the #caseyanthony legal issue. Def asked witness if he could "repeat" the test. He couldn't as he may have left lab by then.
 
Ohhh... the DT does not want it to come in that they didn't ask this guy to test the material.. or any material for that matter.
IMO, they are afraid of the results and would rather just attack the tests the SA did
 
OMG< WFTV is ridiculous today! Goes blank during down time then goes to commercial at crucial times. Sheesh.
 
DS actually found her voice and sounds 1/2 way intelligent. IMO
 
Ashton says the defense's line of questioning shifts burden of proof. **note- jury is not in courtroom. #CaseyAnthony -jfell

Did DCS ask Logan if he could reproduce the test or reproduce the results?
