How do you prove that someone is guilty of murder, if you can’t prove a murder occurred? Given the advance technology of our time, medical science has still failed to preserve a body for a second opinion autopsy reports. As anyone knows as humans we are prone to error, so my question is why does our judicial system place so much weight on “medical experts” testamony, who may without fact interrupt their findings based on various factures such as bias, personal experiences or just how they feel on a paticular day. Subsquent testamonies of medical experts who may contradict the findings based on photographs and reports taken during the autopsy, no less “expert”, are given much less creditability by juriors for two reasons: They didn’t see the body prior to the disruption of autopsy and secondly the cornors various practice in preserving evidence.
Which brings me back to my point, does the simple testamony of a “medical expert” prove murder? As a tax paying citizen don’t I have the right to have my cause of death determined? I personally would like to know that if I drown in a tub tonight that my husband would not spend his life in prison based on the opinions of one human being. The prosecutor and their unlimited amount of resource verse any defense my husband could afford would stack the odds against him almost guarantee an unfair trial. There is no jury that would find him not guilty when faced with a dead woman and “well rehersed” and finely tuned display from the prosecutions expert(s). There is no such thing as an impartial jury.
In 2007, the prosecution had “medical experts” lined up at the Paul Cotter trial, prepared to testify a 2 year old victim was in fact murdered. The finding of the Hamilton County Cornor contradicted the opinions of dozens of doctors, specialist, child abuse advocacy and everyone that knew this family. During the almost 3 day stay at Dayton Children’s a thorough investigation of mysterious blister that appeared on the soles of the toddlers feet and spread to toddlers head was conducted and ultimately ruled as infectious disease. Upon release the toddler experienced fever, vomitting and acting lethargic. The next day is found unresponsive in her crib suffering from a brain hemmorage. Would you assume that was murder? What if I told you there was no history or physical signs of abuse to this child. During surgical procedure at Cincinnati Children’s surgions removed old blood from the brain and found old blood in the retinas. But according the cornors cause of death was blunt impact to the head. Ruling death as a homicide. Like the Widmer case, there is a death, and there is a cause that lacks an explanation. In the Cotter case, the weeks prior the childs death child suffered serveral falls doing what toddlers do. The only physical sign of injury on the child was a very large pretruding bruise in the center of the forehead that was at least a week old. In the Widmer case the woman had Narcolepsy and seizures and no evidence of trauma. Is Warren County aiming for the spotlight, toying with the lives of the living and the dead for the opprtunity to up there qualifications in the political sphere. How else would prosecutors like Racheal Hutzel build their credentials without participating in a few murder trials, are we forgetting the basics of justice? Does one ‘medical expert” opinion carry more weight than another? Shouldn’t we first have to prove a murder occurred with any doubt before our tax dollars are spent seeking justice for and alleged victim? How can a jury be expected to decide if someone is guilty of murder when “medical experts” can’t even agree that a murder occurred? Are there two men sitting behind bars for any purpose other than justice?
My research in these cases has left me confused and a bit pissed off. I am not convinced that a crime even occurred there is no evidence, no motive, no weapon, no trauma and definitely no indication of intent. Where is the murder? Does simply being with some who suffered a unexplainable death subject me to a murder charge? I for one think our judicial system has taken their power too far. Not only do I live in fear of the authority given to our courts and am forced to sit on their jury but I am a victim of extortion from tax revenue that is used to abuse these people that should have never been charged in the first place. I am forced to support the courts and prosecutors salary, provide them the best accomodations, house the inmates and often maintain the shattered families left behind through public assistance.
We the people should be cautiously aware of these abuses, stop them at every front and reform our judical system back to which it was intended by our founders. How dare our judical system that we created to protect us violate our consitutional rights to be innocent until proven guilty, by gasping the negative, ultering the facts and using imagination to explain the unexplainable. I wonder what charges they could create for me writing this? How far will our judicial system go?
