Q. Well, did all the experts agree that JonBenet Ramsey was alive at the time of the injury to her
vagina?

A. Again, I don't know what experts you're referring to but we had --

Q. The ones that you listened to.

A. Let me finish, Mr. Wood.

Q. The ones that your department hired?

A. At times there was, among experts, as was to be expected, there was conflict of opinion. But
regarding the prior vaginal trauma if that's what you're asking about, this blue ribbon panel of pediatric
medical experts they brought in seemed to me to be in agreement on some other conclusions.

Q. I'm talking about the acute vaginal trauma she suffered at the time of her murder. The
agreement was unanimous that she was alive at the time that that vaginal trauma was inflicted, true?

A. Yes, I believe that's correct.

Q. Now, tell me who the members were of what you call the blue ribbon panel of pediatric experts,
give me their names, please.

A. I think the FBI recommended --

Q. Just their names, not the recommendation?

A. -- and tried to -- and he participated, was a doctor from California, Dr. John McCann, from
Miami was Dr., I believe it's, Valerie Rau and the third gentleman from St. Louis, I think he was the
Dean of the Children's Hospital or the pediatrics at Glenn Cannon and I don't recall his name offhand.

Q. Anybody else on this panel?

A. On and off, we saw one of Hunter's advisors, which was Krugman.

Q. Was he on the blue ribbon panel that you keep referring to?

A. Krugman?

Q. Yeah, the blue ribbon panel of pediatric experts that I asked you about. Was Krugman on that
panel?

A. No.

Q. Okay.

A. I think that panel consisted of those three individuals.
