Thursday, after Lin Wood had cross-examined Dr. Robert Stratbucker for approximately 3 hours (of a planned 7 hour deposition), Darnay Hoffman suddenly and permanently withdrew Stratbucker as an expert witness in the Wolf case. <P>NYL had been counting on Stratbucker to dispute the stun gun testimony of Lou Smit and Mike Dobersen - apparently he realized that he had bet on a loser and decided to cut his losses.<P>Lin had a folder full of information available to discredit Stratbucker as a witness, he was ready to go at him for 7 hours, but that was cut short - the deposition ended when Stratbucker was withdrawn as a witness. <P>Anyone out there who relies on Stratbucker to refute the stun gun theory of Smit and Dobersen will have to look elsewhere.<P>Thomas, Wecht, Stratbucker... <BR>"another one bites the dust...."<P>
