So is the theory that she was either accidentally injured which resulted in death and then the cover-up or was she purposely abused which resulted in death and then the cover-up? And therefore actual pre-meditated murder is not the case here? I am sort of confused.
Obviously I don't KNOW what happened to Elaina. Just stating that head injuries often don't appear as severe as they are for some hours later. Concussions, shaken baby, blunt force trauma... no idea. But the brain does swell after an injury and symptoms appear then. With medical attention, doctors could possibly have diagnosed an injury before the worse symptoms occurred. Just don't know, because don't know what happened! We only have the blood from a nostril, black eye, and possible broken nose reported IIRC! Just my observations that an injury to the head could have caused the above symptoms!
Now whether the injuries, if there were head injuries, were intended to cause, or a reasonable person thought those injuries could result in death, then IMO that's premeditated murder. If there was abuse, that result in the head injuries, no medical care, again, IMO premeditated murder. If Elaina fell and got a head injury, thus an accidental injury, and medical care was withheld, I don't know what the charges would be.
I pray the autopsy will be able to reveal the COD.
