Since a poster has taken it upon himself to say that he does not trust Jason Payne-James, I thought I´d post his credentials out here, so that anybody with an interest can see for him- or herself what Payne-James is about:
Jason Payne-James is a Specialist in Forensic & Legal Medicine (one of the first to be recognised by the UK General Medical Council). He is a forensic physician in active clinical practice as a Forensic Medical Examiner. He is an independent researcher, an author and an editor and initiates, leads or has collaborated in research projects with a number of organisations including the Independent Police Complaints Commission, the Metropolitan Police Service, the Home Office Centre for Applied Science & Technology and the National Injuries Database (part of the National Crime Agency). He is an advisor to governmental and other agencies in the UK and abroad. He is co-author of Faculty of Forensic & Legal Medicine documents related to medication management in custody, management after exposure to Taser® and irritant spray, head injury and choking. He is frequently asked to act as an expert witness in a range of settings. He has been involved in many high profile and sensitive cases. He has provided pro-bono support in a number of cases.
He qualified in medicine in 1980 at the London Hospital Medical College and undertook additional postgraduate education to higher degree level at Cardiff Law School, the Department of Forensic Medicine & Science at the University of Glasgow and with the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland. He is an Accredited Mediator and is a member of the Forensic Healthcare Services Mediation Panel.
He is Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at Cameron Forensic Medical Sciences, Barts & the London School of Medicine & Dentistry, University of London, UK. He is Honorary Consultant at the Department of Emergency Medicine at St George’s Hospital, London. He is Director of Forensic Healthcare Services Ltd and Payne-James Ltd, and is Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed Journal of Forensic & Legal Medicine. He is President of the Faculty of Forensic & Legal Medicine.
His forensic and legal medicine interests have included healthcare of detainees (prisoners), deaths, harm and near misses in custody, torture, drugs and alcohol, wound and injury interpretation, asphyxia, sexual assault, neglect, non-accidental injury, restraint and use of force injury (including Taser and irritant spray), excited delirium syndrome, police complaints, age estimation and photographic imaging of injury. Some examples of his research publications and his research background can be found at www.researchgate.net.
He provides expert opinion and advice for defence solicitors, the police, the Crown Prosecution Service, Service Prosecuting Authority, HM Coroners and other agencies in the UK and overseas. He has developed new scales (the ForensiGraph®) for use in forensic imaging – www.forensigraph.com and with Cathy Cooke the ForensiBag® and OOHBag® . He advises on, contributes to and has broadcast in a number of media settings, including a documentary on Jack the Ripper . He has contributed to a number of episodes of the Channel 5 series, Autopsy.

No.
Does any of that make him any more likely to be right than any other so called expert?
No.
Does any of that make it unlikely that someone with a proven track record of bending and twisting the words of experts will twist it and bend there words in support of there own pathetic pet theory?
No.
