At least I had the good grace to admit that point.
I do not have the time to research every little detail.
Meanwhile what exactly do you mean by a 'degraded sample' ?
Now jp, are the contents of jar6 legally admissible if taken to court ?
and try to follow forum rules and not attack posters personally.
P.S. If the contents were transferred to another party or parties and the correct protocol not followed then the contents of jar6 are of no use or value whatsoever.
"Degraded sample" - exactly how is not specified, but other in the case of other samples there were references to "burnt" whereas sample JAR/6 was described as degraded. Possibly this means that it had been buried in soil?
Would it be admissible in court? Impossible to say on the facts presented. It would depend on whether the chain of evidence and the provenance could be proved to the courts satisfaction. It would be up to one side to apply to produce it, and the other side to challenge its production, and then its whoever convinces the court that will win that particular argument. This would usually be settled during discovery.
As far as your comment "and try to follow forum rules and not attack posters personally" is concerned -
Who was it who said
"I would be interested in seeing the results as I do have knowledge of analytical techniques." and "My analysis would only be of relevance to those that have a good grounding/knowledge in Chemistry and Biology.
Do you have that jp, or are you like many your fellows, just a googler ?
I will look at the report."
