The detector, in fact, finally did go off the morning police arrived to investigate Dan Jr.'s death--but only AFTER Dan Jr. had died. According to Dan Thaxton, police left the doors open during the investigation, and when the home was checked for carbon monoxide fumes, the fumes had already disbursed. It is curious that a detector would go off AFTER a child died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Is it possible that these detectors are not calibrated properly to protect the most vulnerable, infants, from low-level effects of CO poisoning. After the CO check came up clean, nobody gave CO poisoning another thought until Tom Rodgers spotted the likely culprit.
They weren't allowed any official Carboxy-Hemaglobin test.January 20, 2004, the Thaxton family's attorney attempted a motion to Judge Kathleen Nelsen for a mistrial in order to present the carbon monoxide information. Judge Nelson recused herself, refused to hear the evidence, and told their attorney that this case would be handled by Judge Stanton Taylor.
As I said before, houses do not have fresh air intakes. They are not required by building codes because the occupancy is low and houses have operable windows. That photo is of the furnace combustion air intake. I'm certain of it - I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow, it is identical. (actually, mine doesn't have the bird screen - it really should)H8wm4m said:Both the house intake and furnace intake are located next to the furnace exhaust.
I know I said "independent" - what I really meant was reputable. Do you have any reputable sources for this? All I see so far is crackpots lying about things that are obvious to people who know about those things.Although I don't know if it would be difficult to do an independent one.

Funny note - beechnut has a apples and chicken baby food
D'oh - somehow I missed that in the photo. I though they were talking about the furnace intake that is a foot below the exhaust. Regardless, the point still stands - houses do not have fresh air intakes. I believe that you are right that that is for ventilation of a crawl space.kach22i said:The rectangular louvered vent...

I'm an HVAC engineer.
It was about five years ago, I guess I pulled the wrong term out of the hat. What ever it was the filter was demanded by the owner after the contractor and I sized the mechanical closet together. Changes is what I remember the most, the room had to be a couple of feet larger - doubled in size. The air had to go down, so I guess that makes it a "high pressure" system?russ_watters said:I'm not sure why any house would purposely be put under negative pressure.

Maybe just a high pressure system - meaning a bigger fan to push the air through the thicker filter.kach22i said:It was about five years ago, I guess I pulled the wrong term out of the hat.

The way the article reads, they haven't provided any evidence for CO poisoning. If there really is a CO issue there, the necessary evidence (already discussed) really isn't that hard to get (not to mention, it would be easy to fix).H8wm4m said:...and refusal to consider evidence for CO poisining.
An "innocent killer hippie" is a term used to describe a person who was convicted of murder, but maintains their innocence and is believed to have been wrongfully convicted. The term "hippie" is often used to describe individuals who live an alternative lifestyle and reject mainstream values.
There is no specific data on the prevalence of innocent killer hippies being convicted of murder. However, there have been several high-profile cases in which individuals who were labeled as "hippies" were convicted of murder and later found to be innocent.
There are several factors that can contribute to the wrongful conviction of an innocent killer hippie, including biased media coverage, inadequate legal representation, false confessions, and unreliable eyewitness testimony. Additionally, societal stereotypes and prejudices against individuals who live alternative lifestyles can also play a role.
The scientific community, particularly in the field of forensic science, plays a crucial role in examining and evaluating evidence in cases of innocent killer hippies. DNA analysis, fingerprint analysis, and other forensic techniques are used to provide objective and reliable evidence to support the innocence or guilt of the accused individual.
To prevent wrongful convictions of innocent killer hippies, it is important to address and challenge societal stereotypes and prejudices. Additionally, improving the quality of legal representation, implementing more rigorous forensic science standards, and promoting fair and unbiased media coverage can also contribute to preventing wrongful convictions.
