'We do the swabs because there's a chance that the evidence transfer happened.'
VANCOUVER — A forensic pathologist said it was his"certain conclusion" that a 13-year-old girl found dead in a B.C. park six years ago died of strangulation, after her alleged killer's lawyer asked if wording in the autopsy report left any room for doubt.
Ali's lawyer Ben Lynskey on Wednesday pointed to"the absence of injuries" to both internal and external structures of the neck. The Crown had earlier questioned Morin about the steps he took in his autopsy, including where he had taken swabs, but Lynskey homed in on the swabs to her neck."We do the swabs because there's a chance that the evidence transfer happened," he said when asked about the neck swabs on Wednesday.
