Knox says: LLMPapa's Bullet Hole Misalignment Analysis Is Full of Holes

Monday, March 4, 2013

Recently, I was featured in a two-part story by reporter Tony Pipitone with Orlando's Local 6 WKMG television:

CLICKORLANDO QUESTIONS SURFACE ABOUT NIGHT OF TRAYVON MARTIN SHOOTING

 

CLICKORLAND FORENSICE EVIDENCE BOTH SUPPORTS CASTS DOUBT ON ZIMMERMAN CLAIMS

Pipitone's news feature details some of the conclusions I made in my recent book, Intermediate Range: The Forensic Evidence in the Killing of Trayvon Martin. Among the findings detailed in the report are discrepencies in George Zimmerman's time line of the events, a finding that Trayvon Martin had ample opportunity to arrive at Brandy Green's townhome before Zimmerman's call to police ended, and a finding that sag in Martin's hoodie and underlying sweatshirt provide physical evidence that supports the conclusion that, at the time Zimmerman fired the fatal shot, Martin was hovering over him.

While most objective observers have praised these findings, I have received sharp criticism from both camps: those who support Zimmerman's bid for freedom and those who believe he should be imprisoned for murder.

Among those who argue in favor of Zimmerman's conviction is an amateur videographer who, cloaked in anonymity, refers to himself on YouTube only as "LLMPapa".

While many have praised LLMPapa for his analysis, as of yet, LLMPapa's findings have gone largely unchallenged. In the world of anonymous Internet video posting, such challenges are typically pooh-poohed by the recipient and his supporters in rambling, profanity-laced diatribes typed from the comfort and protection of one's living room. In court, however--the venue I am accustomed to working in--one must actually withstand often rigorous cross-examination and scrutiny of one's work. Welcome to the world of forensic science, LLMPapa.  READ MORE

The battle is joined!  Knox vs LLMPapa    

LLMPapa usually posts on this blog where the current subject is:

Crime laboratories must be subjected to mandatory blind proficiency testing

in response to Crane-Station:

By the way, Mr. Knox. It doesn’t make any fucking difference whether or not the mannequin was “biofidelic,” because the conversation involves events, distances, clothing, marking and alignments OUTSIDE the human body. Think you can possibly get any more pathetic? LLMPapa waas not teaching ACLS, retrograde intubation, or emergency cricothyrotomy, you dumbass!

@Crane-Station. Why don’t you tell Knox how you really feel? :-)
