Lawyer: Dan Brown Evidence Suspect (CNN)
Comments(0) In a written statement handed to the court Monday, Rayner James said Brown copied from “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” but acknowledged he may have done so “unwittingly because of the research materials supplied by Blythe Brown.”
“His evidence should be approached with deep suspicion,” the lawyer said.
“He had almost no recollection of matters that related to timing. He would struggle to recall a year, was rarely able to recall a month. His general attitude in cross-examination was uncooperative,” Rayner James said, referring to Brown’s three days of testimony last week.
