I was working on a civil case for the defendant in which the plaintiff had stipulated in their complaint that the defendant had sold with full knowledge and intent to the plaintiff an aircraft that was not in an airworthy condition at the time of the sale. One of the claims was that the defendant had not complied with the aircraft manufacturer's Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) which addressed installing inspection panels in the engine cowlings. These panels would have allowed for easier access to an area that was normally difficult to inspect. This was indeed a good idea. The real question here is: was the defendant, as an aircraft owner, required by current Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to comply with the MSB?.....read more

Bullets passing through windshield glass (safety glass) typically produce oval-shaped holes due to the slant of the windshield. The direction of the shot is determined by examining the margins of the hole. The margins of both sides (entry and exit) will show some degree of concaveness, however the margins of the exit side will be more distinctly and more uniformly concave. When shots are fired through vehicle windshields, bullets frequently fragment. Attempting to equate the trajectory of a shot to the bullet hole in the windshield and the impact point of a fragment is unreliable. While it is certainly true that the trajectory is going to be best represented by the largest fragment (e.g. the bullet core), this is still only going to allow a rough approximation of the true trajectory to be made. As far as the lateral (side to side) trajectory is concerned, a more reliable technique results from using the degree of cant (inclination) of the long axis of the oval hole that is typically produced....read more

Understanding this evidence when defending a client in a criminal or civil matter is essential....read more

The concept of a physician who works only in the hospital developed from the common-sense realization that we can’t be in two places at once. Starting in the 1990’s when the word “hospitalist” was first coined, primary care doctors and specialists alike have seen us as a way to ensure that when their patients need hospitalization, they will get care from a doctor skilled at inpatient care....read more

When does a lawyer need a linguist? As Roger Shuy, one of the most pre-eminent forensic linguists, has observed, the interpretation and application of the law are overwhelmingly about language. Thus, there are many situations in which the expertise of a linguist – someone trained in the precise description and analysis of language (but not necessarily a person who knows many languages) – can make substantial contributions to a case, providing evidence one way or the other or simply clarifying the linguistic principles, problems, and processes that the case involves.....read more
