Ludicrous Theory and Contempt of Court: The Casey Anthony Trial

Excerpt:

The problem with being a legend is that when you fall, the drop is extraordinary. Without a doubt, Dr. Werner Spitz has been legendary in his field for decades. And it seemed to me that On Saturday in the Casey Anthony trial he performed a kamikaze raid obliterating his reputation and credibility in a spectacular fashion. And he did it in a case where he still believed that the victim was kidnapped by Zanny the Nanny. Apparently, the defense team never informed him that they no longer believed in that scenario.

On direct testimony, Spitz said that the duct tape was applied to the skull of Caylee Anthony after her body had completely decomposed--that someone picked up the bare skull and applied the duct tape and laid it back on the ground where it was found. At first, I thought I heard him incorrectly. A double-check revealed that was his testimony. Really? You've got to be kidding me. It's about as believable as the Zanny lie.
