The State relied
heavily on the assumption that Conner washed ashore. Autopsy
interpretations and evidence collection were based on this assumption. Simply put, none of the responding officers, medical
personnel, or detectives considered any other possibility.
The evidence
collected, however, does not support that assumption.
The State employed Dr.
Ralph T. Cheng, a Sr. Hydrologist with the USGS, to persuade the Jury that
Conner did in fact wash ashore, in spite of all the evidence to the
contrary.
However, SII has debunked Cheng's testimony and proven his methods to be
junk science, thus leaving the State with no evidence that Conner washed
ashore.
Details
Furthermore,
significant evidence exists and was available to both the Prosecution and
the Defense to prove that Conner could not have washed ashore on either
April 12 or April 13, 2003.
Details
Without exception, every person who observed
Conner's body described him as a full-term baby or nine-months, thus confirming
that he lived beyond December 24, 2002.
Details
The measurements taken
by Dr. Brian Peterson, the forensic pathologist who performed Conner's
autopsy, confirm that Conner lived beyond December 24, 2002.
Details
The measurements taken
by Dr. Alison Galloway, the forensic anthropologist tasked with determining
Conner's age at the time of his death, confirm that Conner lived beyond
December 24, 2002.
Details
Dr. Greggory Devore is the State expert
tasked with convincing the Jury that Conner died in utero on December 23, in spite of
all the evidence to the contrary. SII has exposed Dr. Devore's methods
and procedures as junk science, thus leaving the State with no evidence that
Conner died during the required time frame.
Details
Based on Conner's
autopsy, Dr. Peterson could not rule out that Conner
had been removed from Laci's womb, or that he had
been born alive.
Details
The twine wrapped
around Conner's neck confirms that he was handled by human hands.
