You asked...."Who ruled it a murder?"

No one. I said, may be, an inconclusive statement. The ME could be mistaken.

In my scenario, you had drawn a conclusion and I had not. Therefore you would be the only on who could be jumping to conclusions.

The ME could be mistaken.

Maybe.

But, given the exposure of this case, the experience of the Harris County ME, and some working knowledge of forensic pathology, I'd bet on the ME.

In my scenario, you had drawn a conclusion and I had not. Therefore you would be the only on who could be jumping to conclusions.

In your scenario, I drew a conclusion based on the opinion of a respected Medical Examiner.

If that's jumping to conclusions, then how high should I leap?
