The July issue of “Sifting the Ashes” is now available for your review at www.firescientist.com.
This issue includes a discussion of the necessity of comparison samples, suggestions for things to avoid when preparing your resume, links to a discussion of the schizophrenic nature of Florida's rules of evidence (they keep changing their mind about whether Daubert or Frye should prevail) and a new Washington Post series on fixing forensics.
This month's case study goes back to the 1980s. A pessimist would say this case shows how awful things were back then, while an optimist would say "look how far we've come!" All of the documents from the Girdler case are available at [app.box.com]
Included in this file is a link to a 2018 interview with Mr. Girdler.
As always, readers' comments are invited.
