if i may: I'm "translating" this gem of a quote because it has a "whole lotta truth goin' on"! (
as you might guess, my comments are in the bold and then the underlined) and yeah, a bit snarky!:banghead:
grace: Back to dr. Henry lee...
Lee: No, we did not get any pay for that and for
dah! Okay, we'll "buy" that for now (as of the date he stated it!-- i`ll say, you know, this country, as you know, everybody entitled a defense.
dah! No kidding< sher"r"ock! and many forensic experts, we do pro bono cases and that`s our obligation
(ummm, really????) to our profession. As an expert, we look at evidence, doesn`t matter inculpatory, exculpatory, we report (ph) as it is.
hello!!!!! This is the absolute truth of the matter< now the crux of the story is......will your report be used by the side that is "paying" your fee? i don`t think should be labeled as a defense expert going to just for defense.
great point, henry the trick is who is going to introduce the work product????? He/she who paid, he/she who enters the discovery into evidence gets to "use" the information, otherwise if it is "not so good for the defense case", they can bury it" but the prosecution, heck everything is available to the defense including bench notes with grocery lists and recipes~. many time, found more evidence, inculpatory evidence, than the police found.
lol yep, and somehow those were cases when hl was not a defense paid observer/assistant/expert/forensic specialist. there -- you know, case history, case example, many time we`re allowed to work on the case together. Many of my cases, i let the defense expert observe.
anybody else getting the distinct pout here? The "great one" was not permitted on the immediate days after the skeleton discovery to cavort thru the crime scene nor did anybody from hicksville, florida aka orlando ask for his expert advice on how to run the scene! it`s nothing wrong.
absolutely correct, there is nothing wrong with allowing members of the defense team experts to observe/witness when the victim is known and they have legal standing.
most missing children cases which is what baez claimed this case was do not have a forensic anthropologist, a crime scene specialist/analyst/re-constructionist, a dna & body fluid physiologist and a board-certified anatomical, clinical and forensic pathologist
grace: So dr. Lee...
Lee: Nothing unusual.
Grace: Dr. Lee, are you telling me that you are working on the case pro bono, for free?
Lee: Yes.
