...most at stake in the Super Bowl? Forget Rams coach Mike Martz or Pats counterpart Bill Belichick, each of whom has never won a Super Bowl as head coach. The guy with the most riding on this game is Frankie Muniz, the star of FOX's TV comedy "Malcolm in the Middle." That's the show the network will air directly following the game, meaning Malcolm and his family will benefit from the same flood of extra viewers that helped CBS' "Survivor II: The Australian Outback" become the most popular entertainment program of 2001. With the stakes so high, "Malcolm...
...Oklahoma City bombing case is the biggest of those cited by last week's report (see following story). It strongly criticizes explosives experts involved in the bombing investigation, particularly David Williams, who, according to the study, "reached conclusions that incriminated the defendants without a scientific basis," and Roger Martz, the chief of the chemistry-toxicology unit, who "improperly deviated from...protocol in his examination of some specimens." But Inspector General Michael Bromwich's study goes on to cite other cases that have the potential for coming undone in the legal system--or at least becoming embarrassing footnotes for the already...
...complaining about working alongside--or under--agents with academic credentials less impressive than his. He has also singled out for criticism two respected agents--Tom Thurman, head of the explosives unit and the man responsible for cracking the mystery of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103; and Roger Martz, head of the chemistry and toxicology unit--both of whom worked on the Oklahoma case...

In a serious setback for the defense, Ito ruled that he will not allow the testimony of disgruntled FBI agent Frederic Whitehurst. The decision also means that FBI toxicologist and former prosecution witness Roger Martz will not have to return to the stand. James Willwerth reports from the trial: "Ito ruled that it was not relevant for jurors to hear Whitehurst saying he believed that Martz had altered lab results in another case, testimony the defense hoped to use to taint Martz' work...
...such a claim. Monday, Fredric Rieders, a forensic toxicologist, testified that the blood apparently contained EDTA, a chemical preservative used in crime analysis, which suggested that the blood could have been planted by someone with access to samples from the victims and the defendant. Today, FBI Special Agent Roger Martz -- who performed the analysis of the blood -- said Rieders essentially misrepresented his findings. "Those bloodstains did not come from preserved blood," Martz said under sharp questioning from defense attorney Robert Blasier. "I was able to prove that." But truth remains elusive:the defenseimpugned Agent Martz' objectivity, claiming that...
