Kessler did not throw Mcnally under the bus...

OK, well, we've managed to work physics, meteorology, psychology, and the law into defamegate. See what you folks can do to get a chemistry angle on it.

[QUOTE="billdog3484, post: 4284891, member: 14691...so the defense attorney in that instance would be to prevent reasonable doubt from being proven

I'm on vacation, sitting on a sun deck overlooking Cape Cod Bay, and this logic is giving me a headache.[/QUOTE]

Kessler is a lawyer, his job is to create reasonable doubt, which is what he did.

Unfortunately, you're not as right as you think you are, because the standard of proof isn't "beyond reasonable doubt".

The ideal gas law is as much chemistry (physical chemistry) as it is physics. It's usually taught first in high school chemistry. Then it's taught in general chemistry to freshmen in college.

what he should have said

"Well if the refs had over inflated the balls again, then Mcnally might have taken upon himself to lower them back down to the preferred level, knowing the JJ had specifically told him that Brady wanted the balls at 12.5, and being upset when the refs filled them to 16"

That would have been a much better answer as 1.) it showed that brady wanted the balls at 12.5. and 2.) if Mcnally DID deflated balls, he deflated them to the legal limit after the refs tampered with them.

Unfortunately, I think that, if Kessler had reason to believe your version, he would have stated it that way. In other words, it is more likely that he doesn't think he can truthfully say the better version than it is that he simply didn't think of the better version.

You sir should be taken out for drinks for your outstanding contributions to science and this board by all Patsfans board members in Boston.
