Marcell Matley's Article on Holding Off Until the Cavalry arrives

I just did a quick Google on Rather's expert witness and I found that the 11th link is to a document written by Marcel Matley titled "The Expert Ambush - How to hold off your opponent until the cavalry arrives."

I really find the following outtake hilarious given current context.

There may be no cavalry to call even if you could call them. They might never arrive in time anyway. Your case is one wagon train wiped out with victory in sight. You’re a goner. Right? Not necessarily.
The expert ambush need not be a handwriting expert; it could be any kind of expert. Since I know about handwriting, I will use it to illustrate how to hold out until you can call in your own expert trooper, of whatever brand expert. Not being an attorney, I cannot tell you about laws and rules, only about techniques for taking the upper hand over the expert who knows it all, while you know nothing at all about that expertise.

A Few General Pointers

The usual guidelines for cross-examining an expert are either inapplicable when facing the expert ambush or require modification. You are in a desperate situation, and desperation calls for desperate measures.

Wonder if Rather read this before doing his piece on the CBS Evening News tonight.

UPDATE: Wait this gets even better! It seems Mr. Matley may have come up during the Vince Foster investigation and seems to have raised some questions back then as to whether the Vince Foster note was a forgery (man, this is going to get fun now - all the conspiracy theorists will be out in force now)...

Marcel Matley: There is nothing in the questioned document that would support any finding of forgery. And the things that are brought forth - the apparent fragmentation - and those things are explained by the fact that we have a deteriorated copy and that fact that the man was under some emotional stress at the time.

Robert Stack: Marcel Matley is convinced that the other experts are wrong. Q1 on the left side represents the "suicide" note. K1 through K11 on the right side represents the known samples.

At the time Marcel Matley was the only investigator who thought the letter was not a fake according to Unsolved Mysteries. Does this sound familiar folks? The only investigator who did not think the document was a fake ;)
