The most interesting part for me was that he clearly states that the strangulation came first, then the blow to the head.
From everything I had read I had, in my own mind, decided that the was clocked on the head and then strangled. Hearing Dr Wecht's description of JBR switches this around and rules out the accidental blow to the head...which for mine also rules out Burke.
If we're dealing with choke then whack.....when does the scream fit into things given the whack to the head presumably comes when she is already unconscious?
Hi wonder. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Wecht, but if the strangulation came first, there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to the head bash. In what scenario would the head bash be necessary? She was already dead so it wasn't done in order to be sure. It wasn't done to present an obvious cause of death because it couldn't be seen. Some might argue overkill, but if you believe the way I lean, the ligature strangulation was already covering the marks from prior strangulation with the red turtleneck. Dr. Wecht firmly believes that JonBenet's death was the result of some kinky type autoerotic asphyxiation game gone bad, but I believe that is playing right into the Ramsey's kidnapping fairy tale. They wanted LE thinking this way and it worked for Dr. Wecht. I may be naive but I really believe the R's hoped that head bash would never be discovered at all.
