The defense found someone to say it probably died in two hours. The evidence was otherwise because she herself said she heard him moaning for hours and the men who dumped the body the next morning also heard him moaning.

You can find an 'expert' to testify to anything, it would seem.

I've posted this before but I think it's worthy of being posted again as it's the document submitted by the police to obtain the arrest warrant. It contains details about the case from the cops investigation.

Actually it was the medical examiner testifying for the state who gave the time it took him to die.
