Judge asks SB if she's satisfied with her attorneys.

"Very much so".

And their strategy?

"Very much so".

(Judge described her for the record, wearing a black jacket and a white shirt "with splotching" on it.)

 

[Megnut]

First witness is the forensic pathologist. Now it gets real.

JMO

Positional asphyxia, suffication. Homicide.

Loss of consciousness and death, can't determine exact lengths of time. Fetal position, based on her findings.

Based on his skin slippage and rigor, compatible with the 11 hour time frame.

Yes it is @Cool Cats . And in actuality, that suitcase is essentially JT’s coffin or tomb. There doesn’t seem to be any question whether someone could fit into it or not. And the morbid videos recorded by the defendant tell plenty. The deceased was in the case. And the defendant has made certain admissions relating to that in this case IIUC.

Whether or not the sadly deceased JT ‘could have escaped’ is IMO immaterial. He didn’t. MOO

BBM
Yet that is SB's defense.
That JT would unzip the suitcase and come upstairs to their bedroom.

Peter @ LYK answered something I've been wondering about since seeing the suitcase that JT died in.
He believes the prosecution will demonstrate putting someone in it for the jury.

He didn't get into zipping it and seeing if the person can maneuver the zipper from the small space that JT got his finger(s) out of.

I believe that if there was any way for him to get out of that suitcase, he would have. But I’d still do a dry run before demonstrating it at the trial.
IMO

Hard to listen to the doctor's testimony although so important to hear. jmo

Ugh. I can’t imagine a worse death. IMO

 

[Megnut]

Wow, a lot of different injuries to his body.

FP (forensic pathologist) testified they were consistent with injuries from a baseball bat and a fall down the stairs. In the suitcase. "Could be."

Describes his BAL.

Methinks SB didn't want to share a bed with him that night. She said she thought he'd come upstairs and they'd have sex (IMO that's a common move -- in hot, we always have sex, he wanted me, I'm desirable. It was an unnecessary share so I think it's telling, for what it is).

This really isn't all that different than handcuffing him to bed and going to sleep in another room. Except injured and in a position that inhibits BREATHING.

She is 100% reckless..

 

[Megnut]

Oh, my. Autopsy photos.

I didn't expect them to be broadcast.

Disturbing.

Purple indeed. I don't think I'll say more.

 

[nodamselindistress]

Did I hear this lady correctly that JT was 62 inches??? I knew the 103 lbs but he was short if I heard that right.

 

[Megnut]

Will say this ecchymosis -- medical term for bruising. From blunt force trauma. Shows as purple.

Cataloging A LOT of injuries.

Yep, he was 5'2".
Okay, they did a BAC on him at autopsy, but none on SB from what I read several pages back? Weird. IMO.
