Found Deceased 11-year-old Livingston, TX Girl - Audrii Cunningham - *ARREST* #2

[Hestia's Fire]

Thank you. Seems odd to me though, I've watched real court cases where a time frame and date of death were an issue or at least part of the prosecution's case. IMO.

It can definitely be a point of contention in a court case, which I think is probably at least part of the reason they prefer to just record the 'found on' date and time. Determining time and date of death isn't nearly as exact a science as they make it seem on CSI and so if the medical examiner makes an educated guess but is wrong, that could potentially mess up a prosecution.

In the Eastburn murders I cited above, during the trial much was made of the fact that the murderer had come in around 9 pm on Thursday. Yet on their headstones the later Sunday date when they were declared dead by medical personnel was used.

Ok, I'm not arguing, Just learning.

IDK, I don't watch CSI. I was just asking.

I understand completely. I thought it was odd, too, but in order to be officially pronounced deceased, it has to be recorded and recognized by a medical person. Even if it is days after the actual death.

Good to have your expertise here!

But would an ME still have to venture a guess, in a range of days, perhaps, to help the prosecution? Let’s say a body was found two weeks after someone disappeared but they clearly did not die that day, or even 2-5 days before being located. Would you have to state that in your guess they died, say, 5-10 days prior?

And it's a good question! Families often wanted to argue with the 'found on' date on their loved ones' death certificates in the case of an unattended death- ie, "We stopped being able to reach Mom on the 5th so we're sure that's when she passed but the police didn't show up and kick down the door until the 8th so that's what's on the death certificate but we don't like it and we want it to show the 5th"- but unfortunately the medical examiner doesn't budge on that.

In Audrii's case I'm sure that monster ended her life shortly after taking her, but legally the death certificate will always show the date she was found. The family will be able to put whatever they want on her headstone, though.

They would likely have to testify to something like that in court when the time comes, but not for the death certificate itself.

Yes, there has to be an explanation like that. Because I don’t see any reason why law enforcement would just look the other way at an assault with a deadly weapon like that.

But notice how quickly he was arrested for it once Audrii was missing? That’s troubling.

because the victim saw his picture in the news and told LE he recognized him as the person who stabbed him

It is indeed.

I'm having some flashbacks to the Ivy Webster / Brittany Brewer mass murder case. Very different circs but some crossover with the perpetrator there in terms of affiliations, etc. I reckon this guy and Jesse McF might have gotten on just fine.

Unrestrained perversion is the simple answer.
