4. You say ethical integrity, I say

ego the size of a house. This guy may have integrity but it was far overshadowed by his ego.

"If I didn't see it, it didn't exist!" "I am 100% sure, that's my job." "Nobody knows this autopsy better than me."

But then also:

"Opinions can change. I can change my opinion every day, every minute." "Someone who doesn't change their opinion is mentally retarded." "I don't remember."

Etc. Just bizarre.

Let's dissect this further: was it a FACT or an OPINION that TM could have survived 1-3mins after the shot? Well, 6 months ago it was a FACT. Yesterday, that FACT was somewhat altered due to new evidence (that he could write a paper on and that the whole world would love to read, but he doesn't have time) to being 1-10 minutes. The precise time in this case is an OPINION, which is why he only offers a range of time. But the FACT of the range of time changed. From 1-3 to 1-10.

I think he's the one confused about the difference between facts and opinions.

You say ethical integrity, I say Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #4

He said he could change his opinion every hour LittleBlue Jul 2013 #5

Exactly. For example, Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #6

He testified that there was zero evidence on TM's hands for which to take a photo. ME's do not take WinkyDink Jul 2013 #8

Is "zero evidence on TM's hands" a FACT or an OPINION? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #9

I edited my above post to that, but to reiterate: The ME's observations are, by law, accepted as WinkyDink Jul 2013 #11

OK. Was it a "fact" 6 months ago that TM could have lived from 1-3 minutes after the shot? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #12

The 1-3 minutes comment was based upon his original opinion. avebury Jul 2013 #14

Ummm not sure that is accurate Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #15

I was listening to the ME's avebury Jul 2013 #16

I was listening as well Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #17

I would say fact because if there were something avebury Jul 2013 #13

And, his notes pintobean Jul 2013 #7
