Don, did you gloss over the following paragraph ?
"*I have sent people to prison for the rest of their lives for far less
evidence than I have seen in this case,*" said evidence and burden of proof
expert Manny Medrano, who was hired by Norsigian to help authenticate them.
"*In my view, those photographs were done by Ansel Adams.*"
If Manny is lying then bad luck for the buyer and/or those in prison.
