Waco Expert's Death Said Setback

WACO, Texas (AP) -- A lawyer representing surviving Branch
Davidians in a wrongful-death lawsuit says the death of an
infrared expert who contended that shots were fired by the
government during the Waco siege is a major setback in the case.
``We're not giving up, but I don't know how we'll replace Carlos
Ghigliotti,'' said attorney Mike Caddell.
Ghigliotti was hired last fall by the House Government Reform
Committee to review an FBI infrared videotape taken on the final
day of the Branch Davidian siege in 1993.
He told The Washington Post that he had determined that repeated
flashes on the video came from government gunfire.
Police found Ghigliotti's decomposed body at his office at
Infrared Technologies Corp. in Laurel, Md., on April 28 after a
building manager became concerned that the analyst had not been
seen for several weeks. A preliminary autopsy report showed the
42-year-old died of a heart attack.
The plaintiffs had already notified the federal court that they
planned to use Ghigliotti as an expert witness in the trial, set
to begin June 19 in Waco.
Caddell said he will take the depositions of British infrared
experts at Vector Data Systems, who were among those who
conducted a March 19 field test at Fort Hood.
By comparing the simulation to videotapes from the last day of
the siege, Vector found that the 1993 flashes were caused by
reflections off metal and glass.
``We were unable to identify any gunfire, either from government
forces or from Davidians, from either the (infrared tapes) or
other collateral imagery available to us,'' their report stated.
Government officials have said no one on their side fired any
shots on April 19, 1993, the day that a federal tear-gas assault
ended in a fire that destroyed the compound. More than 80 sect
members, including leader David Koresh, were killed.
