what do you think the odds are of abduction in this case?

[Holly Goodhead]

What are the odds on a Flawed Expert Witness?  There are two mentioned in this article.

Well Prof Roy Meadows, a pediatrician, ventured outside his area of expertise into the world of murky statistics.  Dr Alan Williams, a HO pathologist, withheld evidence. 

From looking at other cases I have found most experts to be competent and reliable but when unusual cases present, as above, that imo is when they go awry not just with experts but police and judiciary too.  The common theme running through the cases I've looked at is that they're unusual:

- Bamber - Family annihilation
- Bain - Family annihilation
- Dando - Law abiding woman, shot on her doorstep at point blank range in broad daylight on a busy street
- Rettendon murders - 3 drug dealers shot at point blank range in Range Rover
- McCanns - Child abducted from holiday apartment/filicide for sceptics

The above are not your run of the mill case for police, experts, judiciary.

Don't you think that even one is bad enough?  Sally Clark was killed by their ignorance.

The professor should have understood statistics... It's not rocket science.  He made a very basic error.  He ignored the fact that there could have been a genetic disposition shared by siblings that increases the incidence if cot deaths.
We cannot simply trust so called experts

Of course.  Another feature of all these cases is that they are almost all presided over by males from similar backgrounds which tends to produce 'group think' and 'herd mentality' whether it be police officers, experts, judiciary, media, crime writers etc, etc.

How many females appear in this case, McCanns?

The professor was a pediatrician not a statistician.

Justice Hogg who returned a child to her abusive parent who killed her...

[Mr Gray]

Medics discuss statistics everyday... It's part if their training.
Expert witnesses quote statistics regularly..

His mistake was medical... Not statistical

I think robs just making a complete and utter fool of himself...AIMO of course

Thanks a million.

This is total ad hom and reveals your true motive.
Without having to resort to a dictionary... A deduction is based on evidence an assumption is not... You obviously don't understand  the English language.
 
As for accusing me of not being honest ...I'm not allowed to post my response.  I will report your post to John... It proves what I've been saying to him for some time

Are you telling me you will swear by Almighty God that you are being absolutely honest in all you write on the forum.

[Mr Gray]

Are you telling me you will swear by Almighty God that you are being absolutely honest in all you write on the forum.

Why do you think I would swear by almighty god.  .ridiculous
You need to point out a post ewhere you think I have not been honest... You won't find one... You should apologise and move on... I'm honest and you have no right to suggest I'm not... That's totally against forum rules

[Eleanor]

I am.  So why suspect that Davel isn't?

[Robittybob1]

Yet Rob thinks they should be believed simply because they are regarded as experts

Did I say that?  I would never say "they should be believed simply because they are regarded as experts".

In the linked post I believe you are misquoting me, all in an effort to embarrass me.

[Mr Gray]

'I already have.

I haven't told any lies on this forum and you should not accuse me of lying

[Robittybob1]

Did you not see that I said that your claim: "Yet Rob thinks they should be believed simply because they are regarded as experts", is untrue?
