#caseyanthonytrial Vass wheel well scrapings show evidence of acids present in human decomp and chloroform production****

CFNews13Casey Casey Anthony News13
Vass says 51 chemical compounds found - 41 were consistent w/ human decomp. Some of those overlap w/ gasoline.

TrialNotes Trial Notes
Results - fatty acids present on towels indicate adipocere ("grave wax"). It's a component of human decomp.

Came to conclusion that carpet was point source of odor. Carpet, garage air had few compounds, but carpet high abundance. #CaseyAnthony

You have a financial interest in testimony, don't you? Not in my opinion.

You have not turned over database to defense, have you? Objection. Attys approach sidebar.

CFNews13Casey Casey Anthony News13
Vass said the database isn't his to turn over to the defense because the research was paid for by a grant.
