Starting tomorrow (ie Tuesday the 25th) Gareth Jenkins is up for four days. In late July 2006, Jenkins was formally asked to provide expert testimony in the Lee Castleton case. Another engineer, Anne Chambers, did the initial analysis on his behalf, and then Jenkins reviewed the work and agreed to "front" the final report. When she submitted her analysis, she wrote: "If this isn't at all what you wanted, please let me know - I don't really know what I'm doing."

Jenkins was recently told by the BCS that he could be investigated, presumably for breach of professional standards etc, His response "I resign my membership"

I've just finished watching this afternoon's session. Assuming that he's telling the truth, I find myself (surprisingly) with quite a lot of sympathy for Jenkins.
I've worked with people like him before. Astonishing focus on a very narrow, tightly prescribed (sometimes by the person themselves) area. Extremely clearly delineated responsibilities (sometimes by the person themselves). And almost no... "peripheral vision" at all. My experience is that they can be incredibly productive, and incredibly frustrating to work with. They can be very hard to both work with and manage.
Still, three more days. I'll keep an open mind for now.

Beer skewered Jenkins this morning, who's coming across as very squirrely.

Beer skewered Jenkins this morning, who's coming across as very squirrely. Thank you. Though I had been hoping for more comprehensive and incisive reportage than "he's a bit squirrely".
