Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace - by Joan Mellen

[Tom Bowden]

Lets look at the facts. Nathan Darby spent a life time in the finger print field. He retired at age 65 from the Austin Police department, where he was actively working in that field. He was certified and has given his number and his qualifications along with testimony from Judges, who knew of his work. At the time of the Affidavit he was in his eighties and not actively working. Does that mean he had lost all of his knowledge? When I interviewed him for the book and for the television show, he was astute and did not show signs of dementia. Was his certification up to date? I do not know. I do not know how the certification process works in that association. If he had decided to work full time, would he have required to activate his certification? I do not know but more than likely. The question still remains did he lose his ability to perform the analysis? I do not think so and all the mental masturbation in this forum will not prove anything. Lets wait and respond to Joan's book. I certainly will and I will welcome the discussion.
