We'll see what happens after the grand jury meets next week. My best guess is the ME was able to establish both. JMO.
What other reason, other than murder, explains why Savannah was placed into a shallow grave, naked and with her feet bound? I've seen some of the reasons stated previously, but one has to make a lot of assumptions to make any of those reasons fit.
I think a murder charge will be forthcoming once the GJ meets. There is no limitations on filing murder charges.
As we know even if the ME is unable to determine how she was murdered it never stops the wheels of justice from turning.
We have had countless cases over the years which were successfully won time, and time again, even though the murdered victim's body has never been located. So therefore they could not prove how the victim was murdered nor was it necessary. Here they have much more.
I do agree the ME will most likely be able to determine how she was killed although not required to get a conviction.
The least likely cases to be overturned on appeal are CE cases, and 90 percent of all murder cases are powerful CE cases.
This one will be no different. Even with what we already know it's totally inconsistent she died accidentally.
The ME will most likely be able to determined she was bound before she was killed. There will still be enough underlying tissue showing bruising ocurred before or close to death.
So I'm not the least bit worried that he won't be charged with murder.
There is no rush to do so since he has other charges.
In fact we are seeing LE doing this more often now in murder cases by charging them first with other offenses then murder charges are filed later.
My prayers continue to be with Savannah's family, and friends.
