And so, here you have it—that testimony Tracy asked me to review.

Right out of the gate, Dr. Smith explained how unusual the case was as compared to those he normally looked into, mainly because of how the body had arrived at the M.E.’s office encased in concrete, inside a watering trough. Then, after being asked by Bob Lavender, Smith called his job a “puzzle-solving process.” Most importantly, Smith restated, part of his job was to work “in conjunction with the information I get from investigators.”

They discussed Doug’s height and weight, as Lavender introduced a series of autopsy and crime-scene photographs they’d be referring to during the course of Smith’s testimony.

Lavender asked about Doug’s wounds.

“Specifically, I found a total of 10 stab wounds on the body and a single gunshot wound to the head,” Smith said.

The DA then wanted Smith to look at a photo of the gunshot wound. He asked if there was anything “significant” about the “area around the wound.”

Smith gave an opinion of the wound being “inflicted at a very close range” because he had found “blackening of its edges.”

The next photo Lavender brought up on the screen was a picture of Doug’s underwear.

Smith talked about the “back of the underwear” and “defects” in the material he’d reviewed. The defects had actually “corresponded” with two stab wounds he found on Doug’s body.

This was interesting, because if Doug was lying face up in the trough and he had stab wounds to his buttocks and Rob Poston had picked up the trough from the bottom and penetrated it with those pointed pitchfork-like tongs on his tractor, well, this was evidence that those two stab wounds, at least, could have been made by the forks.
