“””Also, the ME failed to send the stomach contents out for chemical analysis, which is unusual in both an OD case and a homicide investigation, which this case is both”””
I am also concerned the ME did not do a tox analysis on the stomach contents. The ME said there were no visible pills or pill fragments in the stomach contents.
But when we see the how quickly those pills dissolve in saliva, (re the pill fragments Floyd spit out in the squad car) I would think the pills would disintegrate very quickly in stomach acids.
The Defense’s pathologist currently on the stand said that under stress the sympathetic nervous system cuts off blood flow to the stomach, skin, and other non-vital organs.
But does Fentanyl screwup the sympathetic nervous system and instead send it to the stomach????
In so many words I would like to hear testimony about how Fentanyl affects the total body.
Most of your questions are way above my medical knowledge. But, I do know that pills can dissolve very quickly in the stomach and most pills will be completely undetectable (by sight) within the hour, or less.
If you’re watching the trial live, I have a feeling they’re soon going to get to the failure of the ME to do a thorough toxicological examination of the gastric contents.
