sly that the gas chromatography peak shown to the jury as that of ethylene glycol was not@lean glycol at all and did not match the graph depicting the known sample of@lean glycol. the retention time of the peak in question was 33 seconds later. which in gas chromatography is an enormous difference. and when dr. win oldo reviewed the mass spectrometry results he found a similar error. the spike in ryan s blood identified as ethylene glycol did not match the known sample. that really blew me away. especially in a case with legal implications. it must be perfect match. this was not even close. it was, again, absolutely strikingly obvious evidence that there was no match. dr. rinaldo immediately presented his findings to prosecutor george mcelroy. the next day mcelroy held a news conference. the state of missouri is dismissing all pending charges
