>>Part of my consulting for 15 years was ballistic forensics and other applications of physics and math to crimes, mostly homicides. I met and worked with too many lawyers - you have to maintain a firm grasp on the difference between night and day, or the meaning of 'is'.

I did work in the Lincoln area about 1995... didn't know Noah. My own conviction record was 100%, except for the one case in which I was hired by the parents to prove their son didn't do a double homicide. I proved he did.

The meaning of 'is'?.... ask Clinton.. ;-D
