Here are some highlights for you...
Q. Mr. Groden, you've had no formal training whatsoever in learning how to determine the authenticity of photographs, correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Never taught a course in photography?
A. Never.
Q. Never published anything about photography?
A. Techniques of photography?
Q. Yeah.
A. No.
Q. Or techniques of photographic alteration?
A. No.
Q. Not a book, not an article, not anything?
A. I mention the technique of photo alteration in a book I wrote.
Q. The book's not about photo alteration?
A. No.
Q. You talk about the Oswald backyard photograph?
A. Yes.
Q. And you don't belong to any professional organizations?
A. No.
Q. And you're not certified by any professional organizations?
A. No.
Q. And you never testified in court or qualified in court as an expert on photography, correct?
A. No.
Q. Is that correct?
A. Yes.
My favorite...

A. No.
More:
After testifying that a picture of OJ wearing Bruno Magalini's was likely a fake, Groden gets his ass handed to him.
Q. Sir, if there were other photographs of Mr. Simpson taken on the same day, September 26, 1993, in the same stadium, same football game, different camera, different photographer, and Mr. Simpson has the same clothes on, same jacket, same tie, same shirt, same belt, same pants, same shoes, wouldn't that compel you to conclude that your testimony that these shoes have been put on is wrong?
A. No.
Q. It wouldn't?
A. It would not change what I found in the photograph.
Groden is then handed 29 other photos, one after the other. Of course, they all show the exact same outfit and shoes.
Groden never backs down even though it is clear he is wrong.
Plenty to read there, so take your time. Although it is sad to read how he just gets skewered.
Again, Robert Groden is not an expert in photography. He is a fraud.
Do you think he is an expert just because he says so, Octafish?
