What Farwell's Lawyer Said About Sandra Birchmore to the Jury

How heavily can the defense rely on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts initial autopsy finding of S., to create reasonable doubt against the federal forensic experts who say, no, this was homicide.

And do they? Do they lean into that at all? Because that also...

really starts to paint the picture of just how horrific this department was.

If we go all the way back and start looking and going, oh, well, they ruled at that.

Oh, and by the way, she was being passed around by all these officers from the same department that came up with that.

Um, I don't know that that's a strong argument for the part of the defense.

I feel like that can like really open up the door to yes.

And they were also doing this to her at the same time.

Uh, so do you trust those folks all that much? I don't think so.

Jury.

Um, I don't know.

What do you think?

Well, you don't even have to trust them because the bone that was broken is the bone that was broken.

And that's just evidence.

I mean, there's not been one case that the doctor that is on the defense side stated that there's ever been that bone that was broken by self-induced offing.

So, I mean- I don't even think it matters what the initial autopsy report was.

And yeah, I did look it up.

Reporting pretrial notes identify the U.S. Army recruiter Jason Picard as the biological father.

All right.

But, so the public identification points to the Army recruiter, but it has not yet been put on the record in open court yet.

So it's been reported on, it was reported by the Los Angeles Magazine.

Okay.

But it hasn't been, it's not actually on public file yet.

So- Most likely it will come.

So we most likely are going to find out who exactly it is.
