Sandra Birchmore’s Strap Got THIS Reaction From the Doctor Farwell Called Last

Sandra Birchmore’s hyoid, the small bone high in her neck, was broken, and on November 4th the final expert in Matthew Farwell’s defense told jurors it may have snapped after she died or as her body convulsed. Dr. Thomas Andrew said her autopsy findings favor suicide. Under cross-examination by Elizabeth Riley, he acknowledged that a broken hyoid turns up in fewer than 6 percent of hangings. The government’s Dr. William Smock testified on October 27th that a clasp on the strap left a red mark on Sandra’s chest before the strap was ever tied to the door, and Andrew told Riley he didn’t know what to make of that mark. Andrew first saw the strap from Sandra’s neck in person on the day he testified, and he told Riley what handling it did to his opinion. Closing arguments start Friday, November 6th.
