Snipped by me from zwiebel's post
That reminds me; in the pathologist's statement, he said that Reeva arrived naked at his facilities and her clothes were in a bag. Does anyone know if that's normal protocol? I always thought victims of crime - with their clothing and even things around them - were put into a body bag that isn't opened until the coroner/pathologist conducts the autopsy, so fibre/dna or even bullets aren't lost?
Had Reeva already been examined by a coroner before the pathologist and I've missed it, and that's why she was undressed?
Great question!!! I have no idea, and didn't even know she arrived without clothes. I hope someone see's this that can answer this!
BTW zwiebel , thank you so much for all the trial updates! They have been my eyes and ears through out this trial and you have been extremely appreciated!
Key words, imo.
To my knowledge, if she was pronounced dead at the scene she would have been put in a body bag with her clothes on and transported to the morgue. What their procedure in SA is unknown to me. It sounds like she went to a coroner from the morgue and had her clothes removed and then sent to the pathologist.
