I just do not have a lot of faith in Dr. Murray's statements. A doctor uses the word "ain't"? Cannot tell if bones are burned or not and says they looked different at a later date (not in this article)? How long has she been a doctor, wonder. I wish she was testifying to these statements she made.
Re email of Dr. Murray:
Prosecution: Motion to dismiss Carlisle buried baby case charges ‘groundless’
“The indictment and prosecution in this case are defective because both are based on Dr. Murray’s recanted belief that the bones she examined were charred,” the defense attorneys wrote in the motion. [re Motion to Dismiss, Aug. 15]
Murray later realized that her belief that the bones were charred was incorrect after a second examination of remains on Aug. 17, 2017, according to the defense.
Prosecutors do not intend to call Murray at trial, but in the motion state that her opinions relate only to the charring of the bone
The defense motion included email messages between Murray and Dr. Susan Allen, forensic pathologist at the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. In an email sent on Sept. 6, 2017 about the charred body issue, Murray indicates the baby had skull fractures.
"I even said to them, whether the bone was burned or not, that baby was still dead, had unexplained skull fractures, and was buried in the back yard,” Murray wrote to Allen. “I don’t understand why the burning takes it up a notch. They told me it’s all about what she said at one time or another and how her story changed. Well that’s their problem, I guess I am sorry if I spoke out of turn, but it was my strong feeling the bones were burned in July and then less so in August - which is perhaps some basis for always doing a second look. If we only had time.”
Murray told Allen that when it came to the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office and her decision to recant her original opinion that the bones were burned, “I ain’t gonna lie to them, but I sure ain’t gonna lie for them,” according to an email.
