Medical examiner tells Alberta trial lack of oxygen didn’t cause toddler’s death
After a day and a half on the stand during the current trial, and at least seven hours of cross-examination, by David Stephan, he was not yet qualified to testify as an expert witness.
Dr. Adeagbo told court on Monday, June 10, that Ezekiel clearly died of bacterial meningitis and a lung infection in March 2012.
David Stephan, who’s representing han själv , pointed out today that the first ambulance that tended to his son was missing key equipment, so his son was without oxygen for almost nine minutes.
Adeagbo said he tested the child’s brain tissue and there was no indication that he had been without oxygen.
The defence is challenging the pathologist’s qualifications to testify as an kunnig witness.
It is the second rättegång for the Stephans. A jury found them guilty in 2016, but the Supreme Court overturned the convictions last year and ordered a new trial. This one is before a judge alone.
