Uhlmer lists several tests that were performed. Eric did test positive for COVID, but had no evidence of pneumonia, like someone who is dying from COVID. We are taking lunch break until 1 p.m.

THC is medical in Utah, I think. Do we know if these gummies were purchased illegally? Or in a medical dispensary?

If it’s the later, they’re not illegal drugs. MOO

IIRC one of the bags of gummies had his name/info on it, so I'm thinking that he got them at a dispensary. I know that in Florida, there is a label with your name/info on it that is stuck to the bag/container. Pretty sure it was stated in opening statements.
IMO.

It's like a drunk trying to act not drunk. You can still see they're drunk. That's how grief works. It's not the tears and hysterics that signal grief/shock/horror. You can feel people's energy in these situations. I've definitely changed my mind as I think about it more. She was doing a terrible acting job. Covering her face and asking inane questions. I wouldn't have even left my husband's side to be interviewed in that moment.

Sorry too lazy to watch it again. What inane questions did she ask?

Sharp as a tack, Dr. Pamela Ulmer, retired forensic pathologist, is back on the stand. I'm back in the courtroom for a bit.

NEW PM THREAD: We are back. Dr. Uhlmer, the medical examiner, continues to answer questions from the prosecutor. She is asked about vitreous fluid from the eyes that was sent to a lab for testing. Nothing was detected in the eye fluid.

How does she look so bored when they are discussing the autopsy of her dead husband They are talking in detail how it was cut apart and what they were looking for and she just looks… annoyed even?

Additional tests were performed to determine if there were drugs in Eric's stomach contents that weren't showing up in the blood tests and to try and figure out where the fentanyl was coming from - orally or injected, according to Dr. Uhlmer.

Uhlmer explains how blood and other fluids are taken from the body. There were 15 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl on Eric's body, Uhmler says. Fentanyl should not have been present in the body, and the amount in his body was toxic.

Uhlmer requested a report of any prescriptions Eric was taking. Her team reviewed at least one year of medical history. Prosecution wants to admit a report, defense raising questions about it. Judge calls all the attorneys to the bench.

We now see a report of medications found with Eric's body. They include testosterone, Doxycycline, Hydrocodone, Disulfiram and Naltrexone.

Well.. to be a doctor you've pretty much got to be very smart. Most of us would concur.... the 6 doctors that came from my high school class of 300 were all top notch students and sharp as a tack. Wayyyyyy smarter than me and 100% more mature.

I'm convinced that she has ice water running through her veins.
IMO.

In the bodycam shown yesterday she (Kouri) claimed that the 911 operator had told her to pull him off the bed to do compressions.

Yes. But who pulls someone off the END of the bed? And then how do you get a body that's lying straight and not a crumpled mess when gravity drops them awkwardly?

It's a weird choice IMO.

Apologies to ice water.
