FORENSICS EXPERT EXPLAINS WHY DENNIS IS INNOCENT

Dear Supporters,

Jim Moore’s remarkable investigation established time-of-death as a central exculpatory element in Dennis’s case. In 2009 two renowned forensic pathologists, Dr. Cyril Wecht and Dr. Walter Hofman, after independently studying the autopsy report, crime scene photographs, meteorological records, and other related evidence, determined that time-of-death science ruled Dennis out as the killer. The Attorney General’s Office opposed allowing their findings to be considered in court, and Judge Bradford and the Maine Supreme Judicial Court agreed.

In October independent Maine filmmaker Richard Searls and two assistants traveled to Pennsylvania–Norristown near Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh–and filmed interviews with both Dr. Wecht and Dr. Hofman. Please click on the link below to view Dr. Wecht’s powerful interview. Dr. Wecht, who is both a physician and an attorney, has been the president of both the American Academy of Forensic Science and the American College of Legal Medicine, and currently has headed the board of trustees of the American Board of Legal Medicine. He is also well-known for his involvement in a number of high-profile cases.

It would appear that the Attorney General’s calculated response to the time-of-death question has been to make no public statements but to attempt to mislead concerned citizens, politicians, journalists, and others by way of private conversations. Two of our board members have experienced this approach from Bill Stokes, former Deputy Attorney General. In both instances, Stokes quoted from the conclusion of a retired pathologist who was hired as a consultant by Jim Moore. What Stokes did not reveal was that this pathologist had mistakenly believed that the body had been preserved by having been buried in “cool earth,” which she mentioned half a dozen times. In fact the body was not buried, as Bill Stokes very well knew. It should be of considerable concern that a high state official would have so little regard for the truth. One can only speculate as to how many well-intentioned persons were deceived by this practice.
