Melinek asked Bove to prove an Assault Scenario (and/or homicide) not just analyze LE's scenario. There is no physical evidence to support a claim of assault. Melinek wanted Bove to prove her theory, he couldn't. Neither Melinek nor Bove set out to look at possible accident scenarios that were possible.
I don't understand your point because Dr. Bove did agree the evidence supported an assault scenario. My comment was about intent. Dr. Bove isn't a forensic pathologist, he doesn't have the expertise to conclude whether it was an intentional assault or not. Melinek could analyze the boy's physical injuries but Bove does not have the expertise to do so.
