Ted Hunt and his comments on 'Statistical Statements in Forensic Testimony' pretty much just blew me away (attached). If anyone should be offering training to Examiners on the strengths and weaknesses of statistical testimony, it's this guy. I feel like photoshopping an Obama 'Hope' poster of this guy and hanging it in my cube at work...

Re: The Best Response to 'Statistical Statements in Forensic Testimony'
I presume this is a third draft of a response by one Ted Hunt to the document issued by the National Commission on Forensic Science.
I have never heard of Ted Hunt and in googling the name, the results were overpowered by two other Ted Hunts. One is a hockey player and the other is a golfer. I hardly think either of them authored this paper. To satisfy my curiosity, I would like to know a little more about the Ted Hunt who wrote this article and the source of his interest and knowledge in the topic.

I'm assuming it's this guy:

He's a prosecutor for Jackson County in Kansas City and is on the National Commission on Forensic Science

Re: The Best Response to 'Statistical Statements in Forensic Testimony'
From what I was able to tell, ekuppin is correct.
Looks like he's spoken at the International Symposium on Human Identification before, which is here this year. I'm going to try and go to that. Also, I took his reference to version 3 as how many revisions the NSFC document had been through, not how many revisions his comments had undergone.
