Skeletal reconstruction
Skeletal reconstruction is the term used to describe re-assembly of bones (and fragments of bones), to create a full or partial skeleton from fossil remains.

Stature reconstruction is important as it provides a forensic anthropological estimate of the height of a person in the living state; playing a vital role in the identification of individuals from their skeletal remains. ... Total skeletal height (TSH) was calculated for each skeleton using the Fully's (anatomical) method.

Thanks, Niner. This confused me because I didn't get who was doing this.

You're the BEST!! SeesSeas!!! I'm putting down your name for the cases you just posted on!!

You're the BEST!! SeesSeas!!! I'm putting down your name for the cases you just posted on!!

I'll try to accommodate your requests
It is very handy to have the docket detail and I understand your frustration at not having access to some of the court links. And it's especially aggravating for those cases where we can't find the defendant name in an accessible online court link and there is no new news - - like this case: MA - Dr. Richard Field, 49, Dr. Lina Bolanos, 38, slain, Boston, 5 May 2017 *Arrest*
. . . it makes me wonder if the government has disposed of the defendant.

 

[Niner]

Wasn't he from Haiti re Dr. Field case? Maybe they sent him back? I too am surprised nothing has happened on that one, or it has & no one told us! LOL

Defense attorneys wrote in court documents, "En route to the police station, police officers drove Mr. Strouse by the location where the body was found so that Mr. Strouse could see the activity. This conduct on the part of the police officers was reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response."

According to court documents, officers first took Strouse into custody on Aug. 23, 2018, the day before Weik's body was found and "interrogated him for over (8) eight hours ... Police officers did not advise Mr. Strouse of his Miranda rights until over 30 minutes in to the interrogation. During the interrogation, Mr. Strouse asserted his right to remain silent and his right to an attorney. However, police officers continued the interrogation. Additionally, Mr. Strouse requested to leave on several occasions. However, police officers ignored Mr. Strouse's request to leave and continued to ask him questions."

He was later released.

Documents state that Strouse was taken into custody again the following day after Weik's body was discovered.

"Mr. Strouse was taken to the West Chester police department and interrogated for over nine (9) hours. During the interrogation, Mr. Strouse allegedly made incriminating statements," according to documents.

Strouse claims his rights were violated and "now demands that his statements be suppressed and all evidence obtained as a result of his statements must be excluded ..."

Ha! I noticed that, too. I thought about 'correcting' it, but figured NOPE. . . I'll just cut and paste the exact data as listed.
On another case I reviewed yesterday for you, can't now recall which one , the docket listed an upcoming 2019 trial date as 2018. I decided to not cut and paste anything!
