I heard that they all conclude she was there at least since 2/12.

You misunderstand. All of the bug experts said the body was exposed to insects on 2/12 or some LATER date. IOW, the body WAS NOT exposed to insects before 2/12.

What really bugs me (ha-ha) about this is that entomology experts are primarily prosecution witnesses. So......it stands to reason that they want jurors to believe that it is a reliable science.

Yet in this case, prosecutors want to do a 180 degree shift even after 3.99 out of 4 forensic entomologists say nothing indicates the body could have been there as early as the first few days of February.

If the State assumes the truth of the science in convicting its citizens, it is very wrong to now disregard what the same "truth" tells them.

It is either good science or it isn't. If it is not, it should never be used by a prosecutor again, IMO.

Above all, it is extremely significant that Dusek brought Faulkner into the case to calculate and testify to PMI. If Faulkner had given him the dates he wanted, Dusek would have held him up as an impeccable expert. It is, in essence, a blatant misrepresentation or lie to now paint Faulkner, et al, as unreliable.
