Im not certain who found the money. There were
two children playing together, with adults present.
I think the Judge's ruling was in error. The money
should have been kept together as a unit and
protected as a unit, to preserve its forensic value
until such time as the case were ever closed.

Jo, I'm not sure that you understand what FAR sighted is... farsighted means that the eye does not bend light enough, so the lens inside the eye must change shape in order to compensate for that. Both farsightedness and nearsightedness affect both distance and near vision, however farsightedness affects near more than distance and nearsightedness affects distance more than near. You are confusing farsightedness with presbyopia, I think.
I'm an eye doctor, so know a thing or two about this end of things
Whether he is near or farsighted or presbyopic is irrelavent without knowing the actual Rx or how near/farsighted he was. Small Rxs don't affect vision much on a functional level.
I know not what his script was in those yrs. - ALL I do know is that during the early part of our marriage he DID not need glasses for driving nor for firing a gun with absolute accuracy (old eagle eye). I am glad someone here is in that profession. I do know he was far-sighted, but the last script was not strong and that was about 22 yrs after Cooper jumped. He needed glasses - or chose to wear glasses most of the time during our marriage.
Hopefully your explanation can be understood better than mine (as mine is only from personal exposure and the fact I am near-sighted (since age 8). When my friend needed reading glasses in our late 50's I was able to read and do office work without my glasses. The Dr. told me that what happened was related to the prebyopia and as time has progressed I am still able to read without my glasses.,,and read the computer screen. Outside activities require glasses.

Since Jo can't come up with the info here is mine.
Notice the arrows in the attached classic pic. At the angle we are looking through the glasses, the side of Duane's face is refracted IN. This is characteristic of what general prescription he needs. Peregrine should be able to tell us a LOT about Duane's eyes just from this.
Take your glasses off if you have them, and hold them up to a straight edge at a similar angle and see which way the line refracts. Mine goes OUT and I can see better far than near (but not great in either).
Peregrine??

I have already told Orange that I would take the script to my optician and have him tell me if HE CAN make a JUDGMENT CALL as to what Duane's eye site would have been 22 or 23 yrs before. If he can not then this information would be useless. I will not be able to go until after the 1st of the yr.
What someone's sight was in 1983 is cannot predict what their sight was 22 yrs before. Why not let a PROFESSIONAL make this call - ( a man with the RX in his hands). If he can state it. This is not something to be handled in a forum. If the Dr. cannot not make a statement regarding this after reading the RX in his office then the forum is NOT a place to make conjectures from a picture.
Duane's eyesight
Yes I am interested to see his prescription also. With the expert on board we should be able to determine something from that.
I also have a bit of information about Duane's eyesight, but I will hold it until we see Jo's info first.
This should be illuminating.
Tom
I don't know what information you have regarding Duane's eye site from 1971. We know that in his last yrs - glasses were required for driving but that was the last yrs. only. As we age we depend more and more on our glasses. It will be after the first of the yr before I can have a professional give me an OPINION of whether Duane's eyesite in 1993 can in any way have predicted what his eyesite was in 1971.

Tom - very well spotted.
Peregrinerose please to chime in, I understand people get naturally more farsighted as they age. Thus those with perfect vision tend to get farsighted, and those who are nearsighted tend to get less so. Is this a correct understanding? And if so how generally applicable is it?
... in other words while one may not know exactly, one can surmise that Duane would have been less nearsighted later in his life than he appeared in that picture.
add in diabetic and PKD.
