Medical Examiner's Report

Here is a copy of the medical examiner's report that I requested. I will post full comments later. My initial impression is that there's not much here. There's not even any drawings of the injuries.

So here below, the ME says: "c-spine did not show fx/dislocation" in reference to a break of the neck. Interpreted as cervical spine showed no effects or dislocation.

What gets me is there is no description of the injuries to the head. This seems the ideal place to describe the injury or injuries to the head, but more time is spent describing jewelry and after effects of EMT work. If this is routine ME procedure, it doesn't seem a very scientific approach to accident investigation.

I did meet her husband Lynn Keel. He came to company parties and luncheons. At the time, he ...

Indictment of Lynn Keel for First Wife's Death

Lynn Keel has been indicted by a grand jury in the death of his second wife, Diana Keel. A trial date will be stet. WRAL states: "He was charged previously with first-degree murder in the case." To me, that means they must have sought a lesser crime than first-degree murder. To me, probably not the best news, since a good provable first-degree murder charged would've given the D.A. leverage in getting a plea from not only his second wife's death, but his first wife's death.
