OK - now let me ask a simple yes/no question to follow up on our
growing agreement.

Given the discrepancies made painfully clear in the documentation
that Floyd's team presented, do you feel that there's any way to
argue that the testing done by the lab CAN be trusted to establish
guilt in this case? I'm talking about results that varied by over
200% for the same sample, doing the same test. I'm talking about the
lack of blinding. I'm talking about protocol violations like the same
tech doing both tests and questions over chain of custody (or even
whose sample they were testing). I'm talking about equipment being
operated out of the design specs. You feel all that can exist in
documentary form, and the results STILL be viewed as valid?

Mark, let me say it again: I DON'T KNOW. I am waiting for the other
side to have its say. It's just as simple as that.

I don't get why you have so much invested in trying to back me into a
corner, Mark. Nor why you seem so desperately want me to come to a
conclusion before the hearing actually happens. I am not willing to
make a decision about whether Floyd is guilty before the hearing and all
the evidence is presented. You're not going to get me to do that, so
you might as well stop trying.

That doesn't seem at all logical to me. I'd hate to have you on a
jury deciding my fate... ("yeah, we have video evidence of Mark being
100 miles away at the time, but since his legal team presented it,
I'm gonna ignore it"). ;-)

If I was on your jury, Mark, I'd be weighing the evidence and arguments
presented by both sides to determine, as best I can, what the truth
might be. Not just the evidence and arguments of one side.
Unfortunately for Floyd, the video evidence is quite abundant that he
was there on the day in question. :-D

I guess I'm just shocked that a normally logical person could look at
the LAB's documentation that shows such glaring errors and
discrepancies, and NOT conclude that it's going to be impossible for
the lab to overcome those errors and discrepancies to the point
necessary to prove guilt.

But in the end, I guess we'll see how it plays out.
