Quote - Mr Marnerides' response to the question was inaudible during Butler's rant.
Earlier the doctor had admitted that samples from Ellie's skull had been mislabelled on an electronic registry.
Ms Middleton said that it wasn't clear what was in the registry as recently as April, adding: 'The misidentification only came to light, didn't it, because the defence legal team for Mr Butler wrote to pathologist with a question that had been written by a defence expert.'
But Mr Marnerides rejected any failure on his part and said that it 'wasn't pertinent to what we were examining', because Ellie's fatal brain injury was clearly the cause of her death.
Using a 3D model of Ellie's skull to demonstrate, Mr Marnerides said: 'In this case when the skull was opened it essentially separated into two parts like this.'
He added: 'The brain injury could be seen with the naked eye.'
The pathologist said that they had found fractures to the six-year-old's head estimated to have occurred two-to-four weeks before her death.
