The Tarrant County District Attorney’s office has notified defense attorneys for as many as 40 other murder suspects there are questions about Krouse s credibility. The way I look at it, it s kind of like the grandfather s clock that strikes 13,” said defense attorney Christy Jack. “It calls into question all that came before.
Jack is a former prosecutor who represents a murder suspect awaiting trial. Dr. Krouse did the autopsy in his case. Anytime a professional s proficiency is on the line and you ve just been handed what could be information that calls into question their expertise, it s a goldmine as a defense attorney,” she said.
