Have a Capital Murder starting soon and the defense has told us about the following experts:

1) Bruce Frumkin (false confessions) out of Miami, New York, Illinois; or

2) Paul Radelat (a lawyer and forensic pathology out of Houston).

Has anyone heard or dealt with these people. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Bruce Frumkin also deals with mitigating circumstances in death penalty cases and false or coerced confessions. Anyone heard of him in Texas?

Here is a state's breif from Illinois in 2002 where they are very critical of his objectivity:

Here is a "pity me and my bad childhood" appellant brief from Florida in 1993... I assume it is the same guy but the appellant names him Bruce Frumpkin like pumpkin. http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/flsupct/79003/79003ini.pdf

Here is a listing for him from some type of "yellow pages" for experts: http://www.almexperts.com/ExpertWitness/experts_and_consultants/expert/5158650.html



Here is a paper written by By I. Bruce Frumkin for the National Legal Aid & Defender Association Cornerstone, Fall 2003: Mental Retardation: A Primer to Cope with Expert Testimony


All this was from google and there is a lot more.
