What is happening samson , the most up to date information I can find is Feb 2016. Is there anything that's happened recently and can you point me in the right direction.
Yes, in fact we had a long meeting yesterday. The defence is in disarray for various reasons. The biggest problem is the retention of one of 3 trial defence attorneys, who is keenly interested in pretending they made no mistakes though the result is a consummately innocent man in jail again.
They actually made catastrophic errors, and it is down to one thing. They accepted the validity of immunohistochemistry, so the crown had a walkover.
The tissue was degraded and dry, when IHC demands fresh formalin preserved tissue. IHC is designed to best select from a range of cancers an organ biopsy might present, where the tissue type is known. The test in this case was totally back to front and illegal in the USA. It is not allowed in criminal forensics, and for an excellent reason, which this case will soon show. This was not brain tissue on a shirt, no it was not, but whatever it was had preservative before it got to the shirt. You get that?
Unfortunately as we know, direct appeals in murder cases are doomed because appeal court judges will do anything, twist any fact or circumstance to validate the decision of 12 rank and often unemployed amateurs.
Unless you would allow a jury to crew an airplane from cockpit to tail, don't trust them to understand science in a case like Lundy. Poor sod, he is doomed unless...we have some inventive ideas.
