Klein: Soft spots on Sterling's head were sunken from deydration. Would have been obvious.

Now on cross by defense attorney Steven Drahozal. Klein said homicide (a manner of death) isn't the same a murder (a legal definition)

#ZacharyKoehn - Observers saw him looking at the screen (autopsy pics) when they first came up, his attorney leaned over and said something. He's been in this position since.

#ZacharyKeohn - Under cross exam the medical examiner said it was possible Sterling passed away on Aug 30, the same day 911 was called. Keohn has always said he heard the baby that morning before going to sleep (he worked graveyards).

Thank you so much for posting the tweets, HayLouise! You're the best!

I read about him averting his eyes from the autopsy reports and thought 'NO! He should be forced to look at what he did.'
Then to read he had to be told to look away?
What a creep.

State calls Timothy Huntington, forensic entomologist

... bug guy. He said if you want to step on it, he likely studies it.

(you may remember Huntington from the Casey Anthony trial in Florida.)

Huntington: Flies go through a complete metamorphosis. Where they are in development tells us how long they have been around.

[HayLouise]

Huntington: Insects in this case aren't associated with time of death (earlier witness said maggots likely there while child was alive).

[HayLouise]

Huntington: identified the flies and Scuttle Flies, common fly usually attracted to trash, not decomposing flesh.
