6) Disregarded prior head injury

6) Disregarded prior head injury During trial Dr S, crown forensic neuropathologist, changed the pons beading primary injury to ischemia when she became aware it supported exactly the accidental head impact injury I had documented in Melissa’s journal fifteen days prior. She also changed her evidence of it being ‘at least 10 days old’ to ‘up to 10 days old’ to take it out of my documentation time. However, despite her change of evidence, Judge Stevens accepted non ischemic old injury in pons as fact for sentencing. This shows how the judge intentionally went against the evidence from the actual experts in the field to have what Dr K crown specialist paediatrician wanted ruled as ‘fact’. Judge Stevens would have known I could appeal my conviction if the pons injury was not acknowledged for what it was and the truth was already in the juries printed documents and pictures. However, he did not want to acknowledge that both head injuries were the result of impacts and the second injury was a re-bleed with little force required, so he had to disregard this. The crown covered up all the external evidence of an accidental earlier head injury impact as it was very strong for defence; and so they could say a huge amount of force was required; rather than admit Melissa being a “ticking time bomb” (an OHF social workers quote to me) for a large re-bleed from a low force impact. The judge permitted the prior supposedly ‘irrelevant’ accidental head injury at trial because Dr K had a theory he wanted rammed home, that Melissa had been the victim of “at least” two assaults of the same manner. To influence a conviction the crown experts were permitted to say the internal evidence of the prior was a microscopic subdural so very un-influential, when it was actually seen and removed at surgery. They then made up prior cervical cord injury to go with it. When taken out of context with the excluded old bruising found at autopsy on the scalp left rear that occurred 15 days earlier, they made it look like internal head injury with no external evidence of cause; ie, so shaking could be construed and the judge could state this was cause of death at sentencing upon an incorrect basis. When the manipulation had succeeded in getting me convicted, it was then disregarded for sentencing purposes. Dr K used the accidental head injury as an excuse to conclude very early on that “Melissa was the victim of at least two inflicted head injuries”, as he said at trial. Despite saying if there’s a previous bleed the person is susceptible to a re-bleed, he then played down Melissa’s to the point that the jury would accept it had no influence. He also repeatedly connected both as identical in nature by saying both had Cervical cord, brain stem and corpus collosum injury in common. The only thing they had in common was a subdural at the same spot, (right front) and evidence of head impact, 2x bruises (one left front, one left rear) and 2x axonal beadings in different places (pons for the rear accidental impact, corpus collosum for the front inadvertently inflicted impact. Axonal beading is present in tissue that has been jarred or stretched suddenly such as one gets with impact and occurs at particular junctions of brain momentum resistance. Both areas of axonal beading are situated close to where the impact occurred. The haemorrhages were situated contrecoup to the impacts, unfortunately both impacts being in line to cause subdurals at the same spot; an initial and a re-bleed, (the shock wave of the movement of the brain within the skull concluded at the same spot).
