Correct. IIRC JV used “seizures” as an excuse for the video/videos on his phone of Preston in respiratory distress.

The theory is, these episodes (including the one that killed him) were the aftermath of being suffocated by a pen.
i agree the seizures are a cover for the videos of him distressed

Dr Armour is a very experienced pathologist. According to Google,
“Dr. Alison Armour is a highly experienced Consultant Forensic Pathologist based in the UK, often acting as an expert witness for the Home Office in murder trials. She has over 39 years of experience in the field, with a focus on forensic autopsies and pathology. Poppi Worthington Inquest (2017-2018): Dr. Armour was the pathologist who identified signs of sexual assault and asphyxia, arguing that the child was the victim of sexual assault, although other experts disagreed on the interpretation of those findings.“
Wow what a woman. I certainly could never do her job; it would destroy me mentally.

And to think he had the audacity to be angry at him for being a por sleeper when that poor baby was probably in pain from the abuse and had to sleep where it happened, let alone being so scared and co fused. Hideous.

Totally agree she’s not wavering from her findings here. I can only assume the experts who disagree with her finds about poor Poppy were employed by the defence. The coroner. Certainly agreed with her as it’s listed as Poppys cause of death.

Also great answer by Dr Amour re the bite when asked if it was caused by a toy. As defence have disclosure of all trial before it’s tried I’m sure if this were true they would have found the toy that cause the’bite’ mark

Prestons murder reminds me of that of Natalie Shotter.....
Those evil guys were SA & recording this innocent baby to save for the 'tank bank' & not to show any medical teams like they say.
Everyone can see them for the monsters that they are, they're repulsive & they know it!

Dr Armour knows that the defendants are lying pieces of tit. Loved that cross examination.

Me too. The prosecutor in this case was the hero of the LL trial, Dr Armour is so far the hero in this trial. She is a formidable advocate for Preston,

I’m worried to ask and I don’t know if it’s a stupid question but what does it mean by ‘aspiration of stomach contents’? Does it mean choking on vomit or something else?

Maybe it is just me, but if I was filming a baby playing and seeing the toy they were playing with tip, I would have dropped the phone and ran to prevent the baby being hurt. A soundless video, is odd. No even a gasp, or comment… That toy would have been immediately removed too and put away. On what basis did she form the opinion that JV/JMF were caring?

The comment that they made suggesting that the hospital would think they were abusing Preston… when someone tells you what they are, believe them.

It's utterly perplexing, isn't it?

It means choking on vomit, or at least breathing some vomit into the lungs (this can cause pneumonia, not that that’s relevant to this case). They aren’t speculating what the stomach contents are AFAIK. I think the defence are trying to argue that this could be the cause of death for Preston. A pretty flimsy argument, but they have to try.

It’s probably more accurate to say that it hadn’t occurred to her that they weren’t. And as we’ve discussed, there may have been some positive bias towards two gay adoptive dads. To have gone through the trouble of adopting - surely they were excellent parents?

Yeah pretty much. It means whatever was in his stomach at the time was inhaled into his airway and lungs. Really gruesome 😪

One question I had seems to have been explained by the pathologist’s evidence.

Some of the bruises may not have been visible on the skin. They were found during the autopsy and could have been very new and not yet appeared on the surface of the skin or they could have been healed on the surface of the skin, but still been obvious under the skin.

This could go a little way to explaining why JV’s mum didn’t report anything to anyone. That’s giving her a lot of credit but it’s a possibility.

There wasn’t many updates today. Could there be loads of disturbing evidence left out of reporting?

Yes as other have said, this has been the theory right from the start but they do have to be mindful of how they present this. They’re leading the jury to put all the pieces together.
The pathologist also commented on the ‘object’ being soft so for me, that would also rule out a sex toy being used.

I also apologise if this upsets anyone, I appreciate some people are using spoilers but effectively, this thread is unfortunately going to discuss distressing details of child SA that resulted in a child dying because that is what this case it about.
BIB - I think the pathologist said the object was not sharp. So it doesn’t rule out the toys I don’t think. Also and this is grim but sperm can be recovered from the mouth, throat and stomach. I feel sure they would have tested for it.

IIRC the A&E doctor described it as milky but there wasn’t any definitive discussion about it not being “normal” vomit. I doubt there would have been an opportunity to test the fluid either.

And painful. I have nearly choked twice - once when I half-drowned myself by accidentally inhaling a gobful of water, and the second where I vomited copiously and began to choke and as I gasped for breath and a small amount was aspirated. It hurts like hell!

A large amount would be worse because stomach contents are acidic.

I'm wondering this as well. In particular I think they should go into detail regarding those tears to the bottom, that will really nail them

The pathologist was being cross examined for a hour before we got that update. I don't think the journalist wants to go into great detail about those injuries. However the jury will have given the relevant information.
