That QT-Interval thing is a danger with a number of drugs

That would be Ada, the youngest child.

The judge disallowed testimony from Alexis too. Like her mom telling Alexis that if anything happened to her (right before she died) to make sure it wasn't MacNeill.

K+ level was 7.7... is that what he said?

Wowza! Did he say anything about acetaminophen level? I did hear "abnormal liver function" levels.

I know I'm going to hate this cross examination

I was right. I hate this cross examination.

 

[Ina Cognito]

Woah! It was that? I missed that and have been waiting for it darnet!

Not that I heard but I am also in another thread.

Potassium level norm is like 3.5-5.

I was right. I hate this cross examination.

Defense attorney fancies himself a doctor.

And MM seems to be enjoying this.

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

Yes, this expert witness might be thorough, but I like it as I'm learning a lot of new things. Also, I think it's very necessary that he does it.



The thing that puzzles me is that Alexis spoke with her mother that fatal morning at 8:41AM, her mother was in good spirits and up and running. If her mother had been doped she would have recognized.

MM's whereabouts from 8:30-9:30AM that morning is unknown. I think he was at home, doing something.

From work that day he called Michele and left a message on her phone (Daughter Vanessa heard this message as she was using her mothers phone after the death):



Was he scared Michele had "awakened"?
Is a lovely lunch the same as a deadly cocktail?
I think this message is a response to something that happened during the one hour MM is not accounted for.

The same afternoon MM attended a fair acting so bad that another employee filed a complaint. MM insisted on having his picture taken to show he was there.....



Been wondering about that, too. I guess it came from her face after the surgery.

Thank you for putting that time line together!

Does anyone know when MacNeill left that call for Michele?

 

[Ina Cognito]

Not that I heard but I am also in another thread.

Potassium level norm is like 3.5-5.

I'm telling you, he gave her a crap ton of potassium. Very simple way to get his desired outcome. Hard to prove because of K spike after death...wouldn't raise suspicion per se'.

 

[minor4th]

Ok, what's the relevance of this testimony about two fold risk and myocarditis?

Thank you for putting that time line together!

I still want to know when he made those 911 calls. Was it while Ada was finding her mom?

 

[Bravo]

Didn't MacNeill say that he had to pick up daughter, Ada, from school. Didn't he tell someone that he was taking Ada to McDonald's afterwards?

I think Michele was heavily drugged when he left to get his picture taken at the awards ceremony. He went home found her still alive and drowned Michele in the bathtub and then left to pick up Ada at school. I thought I read or heard that he was late picking Ada up. I bet there was no stop at McDonalds.

Agree. I kind of lean toward the bathtub being part of his plan. Make it look accidental. I could be wrong tho.

 

[minor4th]

Didn't one of Macneill's ex-mistresses say that MacNeill told her that he had killed before and gave the victim potassium to make it look like a heart attack?

Come on Minor... reasonable doubt....

 

[fifteen89]

Has anyone from inside the courtroom commented about how jurors respond to each of the lawyers?

 

[seattlechiquita]

Was it bitter?

Sorry, got called to a meeting "$%%

It was tasteless --- had to dilute 4 drops in one GLASS of water. That was powerful sh11111t.

 

[Isabelle]

Woah! It was that? I missed that and have been waiting for it darnet!

Ina, are you a nurse also? Am trying to jog my memory on potassium during a period of low oxygen, thinking there is a reverse flux into the blood stream (from cells that are dying into the blood stream). Somehow Michele consumed excess potassium, or she was in renal failure?? Need to research to refresh memory.

I'm telling you, he gave her a crap ton of potassium. Very simple way to get his desired outcome. Hard to prove because of K spike after death...wouldn't raise suspicion per se'.

How would that be administered? Also, what does a ton of potassium do? And if mixed w/ the drugs identified? Thanks.

 

[Ina Cognito]

Didn't one of Macneill's ex-mistresses say that MacNeill told her that he had killed before and gave the victim potassium to make it look like a heart attack?

I believe he said he could do this not that he had.
