Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson says a federal judge erred in concluding that two experts in a
federal lawsuit against Arkansas poultry companies were not reliable. In court papers filed Monday, Edmondson said District Court Judge
Greg Frizzell was wrong to discount the testimony and research of
Oklahoma's expert witnesses Jody Harwood and Roger Olsen. Harwood,
a University of South Florida biologist, and Olsen, an environmental
expert with Cambridge, Mass., consultant Camp Dresser & McKee,
testified in Edmondson's unsuccessful effort to obtain the preliminary
injunction. Edmondson claims the practice allowing farmers to continue spreading poultry litter as fertilizer is an environmental and human health threat.
