"Thank you very much for your considerable
assistance in this matter. I believe that your report, particularly
with respect to the police forensic results concerning the tie, was
instrumental in the State deciding not to lead the tie luminol
evidence.............Your evidence would have been pivotal along
with the other forensic evidence that we would have called."
