Forensic expert James Pex joins a growing list of national experts prosecutor Allan Jackson has accused of misdconduct 
Phillip Spector Trial I "guilty" juror Ricardo Enriquez is now attending trial II-and speaking against SpectorUPDATED 1-13-09
.
Phillip Spector hate site Trials and Tribulations is reporting that blog author Sprocket—who visits , and cries over, Lana Clarkson’s ashes and makes no apologies for her admitted pro- prosecution bias—will be appearing as a radio guest tonight with so called Juror #9, Ricardo Enriquez—who told the LA Times right after the first Spector jury deadlocked that “[the] Spector defense “bought” scientific experts."
“I thought it was a forgone conclusion that he was guilty and I was really surprised after the first ballot we were split.,” Enriquez told CBS News shortly after the Spector jury deadlocked. Juror No. 9 also revealed to CBS that his fellow jurors were less sure, with an initial ballot of only 4 jurors leaning toward guilt, 5 favoring acquittal, and three
undecided.”
The radio interview expected to attack the 70’s music legend’s murder defense team follows recent posts by Trials and Tribulations accusing respected defense lawyer Doron Weinberg of “lying” to the court, and (reportedly) stating that lead Spector prosecutor Allan Jackson told the Court yesterday that respected blood spatter expert, and former police lieutenant James Pex “committed perjury” in his testimony to the jury yesterday (February 11) and also “fabricated an experiment” presented to the jury. (See here, including following comments by blog author Sprocket and others; To listen to the January 13 interview with Juror #9 and blogger Sprocket, click here.)

Suspiciously, prosecutor Allan Jackson has serially accused nationally respected criminalist and blood spatter expert Dr. Henry Lee of intentionally removing and suppressing evidence from the crime scene, has accused nationally respected pathologist Dr. Michael Baden of fabricating his trial testimony in Spector I, and now accuses (according to Trials and Tribulations) former police officer and instructor, and nationally respected blood splatter expert James Pex of "perjury."
Oddly, rather than publish the specifics in which James Pex allegedly “fabricated” an experiment and lied to the jury in Sepctor II, Trials and Tribulations has simply published the accusation that Pex and defense counsel Doron Weinberg “lied”, followed by a pseudo scientific post under the pseudonym “Mort Snerd,” also implying that James Pex perjured himself, but failing to even identify any "false" statements by Pex—let alone proof that the respected former police officer “lied”; The Snerd post features a posed photo of the music producer circa 1976 pointing a gun at the camera. (See here and here.)
We are obviously troubled by this transparent attempt by blogger Sprocket and her blog Trials and Tribulations to prejudice public opinion against a respected San Francisco Bay Area attorney and a respected former police officer and blood spatter expert—who like Dr. Lee and Dr. Baden has also testified for the prosecution in unrelated cases.
Of even greater concern is Los Angeles prosecutor Allan Jackson’s apparent propensity to use serious accusations of criminal misconduct as a tactical weapon.
After all, how likely is it that not only one but three nationally respected forensic experts, with not a single prior ethical charge against any of them during their long and distinguished careers, all decided to flush their careers by committing perjury in the same criminal case, let alone that they were all “discovered” to by lying by Allan Jackson?
Sprocket advises that she and Juror #9 will be appearing tonight at 8:30 PM on “Talk Radio One."

UPDATE: It turns out that James Pex’s “falsified experiment” was a photo of his bloody finger next to a ruler that Pex told the jury was of his finger after he fired a snub-nosed Colt Cobra 38, when in fact it was a picture of his finger with blood on it after he fired a snub-nosed Smith and Wesson 38. (Pex performed both experiments, but he misidentified a photo of one as coming from the other.)
As it turns out, no experiment was “falsified,” rather a photo was misidentified. That is it. So so this issue ends not with a bang but with a whimper.
