Elizabeth A Laposata

Doctors noted that the wounds to her neck and wrists were superficial, so there was no damage to the tendons or muscle.

They also saw that on each of Lindsay's wrists, there were hesitation marks, which Dr. Elizabeth Laposata, a forensic pathologist, testified was a classic finding in suicide attempts.

There were also two full-thickness lacerations to the sides of her neck, meaning she had cut herself through the skin and into the subcutaneous tissue.

But because those weren't life-threatening, they focused on her more serious injuries.
