That's what confuses me though. Blunt force trauma/bludgeoning is specifically defined when a blunt instrument (i.e. bat, mallet, etc.) comes in contact with the head. Sharp/cutting injuries come from things like swords, knives, things with serrated edges. In a decap situation, that would be considered a slashing injury. I am not dwelling on the morbid as a result of any sick curiousity, but rather hope - albeit faint - that the child was at least struck dead, or unconscious before such a horrible act was performed.
I had hoped and prayed too that Jori was already deceased when he was decapitated. It horrifies me that he was alive, and not only that, but that because of his cerebral palsy, he could not fight, he could not scream, and he could barely even cry.
It has destroyed something in me that anyone could do something so heinously evil to any child, let alone a disabled child.
It's the defenslessness of child victims that gets to me. A child so defenseless as Jori. Well, I just have no words. He could barely even cry.
To make it worse, he was asleep when the monster got him, then a bag put over his head. Poor Jori would have been confused, not knowing what was happening to him, and then the horrific pain, the terror, the realization that this was his own father doing this to him.
I just have never heard of a worse murder of a child. The terror, the pain, the feelings of betrayal, the inability to fight, and being barely able to cry.
I'm by no means a sensationalist - quite the opposite actually. I'm convinced though from what I've read that Jori was alive when decapitated. I can't, I won't minimize what happened to him. If LE or the DA tells me (us, the public) differently, then I'll adjust my opinion. Till then, I'm going by this, as well as the research I've done:
- The murder weapon found and reported was a saw - not a bat, not a hammer.
-
Once she left, Wright picked Jori up and carried him to the kitchen sink, he told police. Wright said he didn’t want to look at Jori, so he put a plastic shopping bag over the boy’s head.
Jori gasped and started to cry when Wright first began to saw back and forth on Jori’s neck with a saw from his toolbox, the report says. He next cut off Jori’s limbs at the elbows and knees.
