Excerpt:
I’m going to make this relatively brief compared to other posts I’ve written on the various topics of forensics. The purpose of this article is just to straighten out the confusion around what an expert in taphonomy is, and what they could bring to the defense team.
When Jose Baez brought up that one of the experts they have on their list was an expert in taphonomy, Judge Perry did a do what. Jose Baez’s response was that it was an expert in human decomposition. That’s true, but it’s not a completely correct way to phrase it…we’ll get to that later. Mr. Ashton objected (to some extent) stating that taphonomy is not a recognized forensic specialty. While that, again, is true, it’s not a completely correct way to phrase it either.
