31. Do you dispute his credentials?

Experts witnesses in trials, whether testifying for the prosecution or defense are paid, unless they are on staff, such as Dr. Bao. That he charges does not mean that he lies. Obviously you don't like what he says. Creationists didn't like what Dr. Gould said about evolution either. Forensic pathology has no politics, it is what it is.

Di Maio is an American pathologist and a nationally renowned expert on the subject of gunshot wounds.[1][2] Di Maio is a board-certified anatomical, clinical and forensic pathologist, and a private forensic pathology consultant.[3] He attended St. John's University and the State University of New York (SUNY), and received postgraduate training at Duke University, SUNY, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland.[4]
