I think that was the doctor that said that. In my experience in the ER I see it mostly in adults who fall going up steps & hit their knee or fall and land directly on their knee. I do not see how falling off a bar to a matted floor would cause that, even if she fell directly onto her knee. I know the state proved Lelia was never on the gymnastic equipment, but if if they hadn't proved it, I do not see how it could happen.One of the experts (I can't remember which but I know it wasn't the pathologist - I think it was the doctor who suspected abuse and referred her to Egleston for an investigation, which Jennifer never took her to, and instead took her to a new doctor 2-3 days later) said the force required to have caused that leg fracture was more than a 2 year old could exert themselves, unless it was a drop from a great height.
Jennifer would tell that story to the other mother who had a daughter in gymnastics at the same time Millie went there. There was only the two girls in that session, so Jennifer and this other mother would sit together on the bench at the side watching, with Laila. She said Laila would lie down on the bench and she wondered what was wrong with her because it was unusual for a 2 year old. Jennifer told her she had been abused before she got her. I think it was this witness that saw the mark on Laila's tummy when it was red. I believe it had turned white by the time of her death.Does anybody know why the cop was asked if Tessa said she had ever poured boiling water on her daughter, or made her eat feces? Is this a story that Jennifer was putting around when talking about the foster placement?
Me, too! This is the guy you want underpinning your whole case? After reading about his exit from the ME's office, sheesh...Wow, this doctor's testimony is going to be the opposite of the prosecutions case. I thought he was just going to testify about her fracture.
I don't think he will be able to disprove a lot of things. He testified yesterday shortly about the fractures. I'm not sure why they did not allow him to do his entire testimony at one time though.Wow, this doctor's testimony is going to be the opposite of the prosecutions case.

Do you guys think the prosecution can bring the exit up since Mull brought it in by asking about it?Me, too! This is the guy you want underpinning your whole case? After reading about his exit from the ME's office, sheesh...
You're right! I can't remember if Jennifer told her how though. That could 've where the boiling water came from.Jennifer would tell that story to the other mother who had a daughter in gymnastics at the same time Millie went there.

I'm not sure how I missed he was in front of the jury yesterday. Im kind of new to the court thing. I thought he was talking about the slides but was unable to show them. Thank you for clearing that up for me!He wasn't testifying to the jury yesterday. Defense was just trying to get in some photo micrographs of her injury.
What do you guys make of the ladder Jennifer's sister testified to? That was pretty damning in my opinion. Who allows a 2 yr old & 4 yr old play outside around a ladder like that unsupervised? Also if dfacs had completed an appropriate home study, I don't think they'd be allowed to have foster children until that was removed. Who leaves a ladder like that for 4 yrs anyway?
I'm thinking now the state will need to bring the ME back on rebuttal, just for that one issue.He wasn't testifying to the jury yesterday. Defense was just trying to get in some photo micrographs of her injury.
