For all we know, his doctor might have done a 'Peter Gill'; ie., use his position and influence to get his client off the hook.

I am not saying he did this, but simply pointing out that it is not 'proof of innocence', just an expert opinion claiming that someone with Kiszko's condition was unlikely to produce much live sperm. You note, he didn't say 'none at all'. There have been cases of men deemed infertile, with weak or few spermotozoa successfully becoming fathers normally.

An undercover reporter on tv documentary 'Panorama', a respected BBC feature, demonstrated that by approaching various 'expert witnesses' who were listed on a register, under the guise of needing an expert to get him out of an accident charge, and with bogus details, deliberately designed to enable the 'expert' to see through the phoney claim, he was able to persuade almost all of them to agree to give expert evidence on his behalf to get him off the hook in court, subject to greasing their palms with money (or rather, 'fees').

Just sayin'.
If this is true of defense experts, it must also be true of prosecution experts. Rinaldi and Boemia were paid experts. Were they also shills paid to give evidence to support the prosecution? How about Norelli, the only expert who said there had to be multiple killers? Or Torricelli? All paid prosecution experts.

Who weren't paid experts for either the defense or prosecution? Conti and Vecchiotti. They were independent.

When you have to resort to accusing or implying that any expert who doesn't support your confirmation bias is somehow bought off or a shill, it only undermines your position. To suggest a person's private physician would lie under oath about his patient's infertility is just sheer desperation.

Just sayin'.
