ALPA objected to his being qualified as an expert witness. The following is an excerpt from what the judge had to say in an oral ruling barring the Lee Seham report and his potential testimony.

For the foregoing reasons, defendant's motion to
strike the reports of McCormick and Seham and bar their
testimony as experts at the trial is granted. Their opinions
are based far more on speculation than on their "knowledge,
skill, experience, training or education." Their purported
testimony is not the product of discernible, let alone
reliable, principles and methods.

So what other untruths do you have for us today, Carl?
