pathologist testifies

From the link:

Hnilica said Randall incurred injuries to his eye, hands, ear, neck, chin, elbows, right hip, right shoulder and left and right sides of the skull. Ultimately, he incurred a skull fracture to the left side of the brain, which likely killed him within 30 minutes of the blow.

“There’s no way you could survive that unless you were in surgery and the surgeons caused it,” Hnilica said, adding that Randall was in “good health” for a man his age.

Hnilica added at one point Randall became unconscious and fell.

Although officials found Randall at the scene with his pants pulled down to his thigh, Hnilica said she had no reason to believe that he had been sexually assaulted.

his pants probably came down when he was dragged,

there was also a security issue as Sheley got mad when he was given soft pens to use, Judge said he will still be unshackled at trial against wishes of the prosecutor,

Wow - swift! hope it's just . . . but he will be bounced around IL & MO for a few years. Tort reform & reciprocal agreements should be in the forefront !!!

IL has a moratorium on DP but MO doesn't . . .

 

[joe jones]

found guilty, now he waits to find out where he will next be tried, he has 2 more trials to go yet for 7 more murders,

State prosecutors and the Illinois attorney general's office objected Friday to one of the first efforts to allow cameras in a state courtroom — the upcoming case of an alleged serial killer — arguing it would make it difficult to give him a fair trial.

Anne Kwiatkowski of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department crime lab was on the witness stand for about five hours testifying about DNA tests conducted on swabs taken from clothing and other items recovered by investigators, the Daily Gazette reported.

Kwiatkowski testified that DNA found on clothing connected to Sheley matched the DNA profiles of three of the four apartment residents, as well as Sheley and his then-wife, Holly. DNA connected to Ronald Randall, a man Sheley was convicted of killing, was also found.

Kwiatkowski said some of the DNA found also matched the profiles of Jill and Tom Estes, the Arkansas couple Sheley is accused of killing in Missouri.
