I vaguely remember this case as it was unfolding. The
unreliable prosecution witness, the not-much-more-reliable
impeaching defense witnesses. I didn't remember the
my-expert-can-beat-up-your-expert part, but damn --
that guy got shafted. Can't say he's innocent, but he for sure
should get a new trial, after three witnesses came forward
and said the prosecution's only witness was lying...
