Any independent review would inevitably be done by the same type of "expert" that wrote the software in the first place.

No doubt it's some sprawling, insane Java monstrosity Manhattan project or suchlike.

doesn’t each side call it’s own expert witnesses? and cross-examine the other sides expert witnesses? Doesn’t seem like it would be hard for the defense’s expert witness to show the possibility of bugs?
