Casey Anthony: WESH says bug expert’s findings are ‘bad news’ for Anthony defense

WESH-Ch. 2 went a long way for its latest report on the Casey Anthony case: Reporter Bob Kealing traveled to Indiana to interview a forensic entomologist who will be a prosecution witness.
And the report contained a classic line from the expert: “Insects don’t lie.”
Neal Haskell has noted that scuttle flies — or coffin flies — were feeding on decomposition in Casey Anthony’s trunk. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie.
Haskell found strong decompositional odor in the trunk in December 2008 — or about six months after the dead toddler was allegedly there, Kealing explained. Haskell told Kealing there’s no mistaking the stench. Using a formula, Haskell was able to estimate when Caylee’s body was dumped near her grandparents’ home.
“Which is bad news for Casey,” Kealing added. “Haskell estimated that Caylee’s remains were dumped in late June to early July — while Casey was still free, a scientific opinion that could blow up her defense team’s attempts to create reasonable doubt by suggesting the remains were placed in the woods in October, after Casey was locked up for good.”
Kealing showed the down-to-earth Haskell teaching at St. Joseph’s College and examining a dead sow for maggots.
“We have a whole array of insects that come in at different times of that decompositional progression,” Haskell said. “Insects don’t lie.”
That’s a line to remember.
The Anthony defense team will depose Haskell on Friday, and it disputes some of his findings, WESH anchor Martha Sugalski added.
