Gallo, wounded in a buttock, an elbow and his back, staggered toward the front of the café. He lurched through a front door and collapsed, bleeding, on the street. Carmella's screams attracted officers in a passing police car. They rushed Gallo to a hospital, but he died before reaching...
...neurophysiologists now see it, when a man gets a shot of penicillin in the buttock, the stab sends an impulse along the nerve fibers to the fourth lumbar vertebra (see diagram). Then the impulse travels upward and soon crosses over to the opposite side of the spinal cord for its journey toward the brain. Along the way it triggers an automatic reflex that causes the man to flinch and tighten his gluteal muscle. After the impulse reaches the thalamus, a major (and evolutionally ancient) junction box at the base of the brain, where it is perceived as pain, it proceeds...

To carry the crux of his case, the prosecutor relied on the experts-and they came through with explicit, if esoteric evidence. Although scientists never had before been able to find traces of the drug after it had been injected into...
