Chapter 67 Section 16

Regarding the aspirin poisoning incident in early December 1980, according to Cross, at 11:00 that night, he heard Sunny screaming in the bathroom. .Cross put Sunny on the bed and made pillows for her.Herald Fallinger told the jurors: "If he wants her dead, it's very simple. He doesn't have to do anything but let her lie there until the last drop of blood on Liuguang's body. However, Cross immediately An ambulance was called, and Maria was brought over..." Afterwards, Cross did another thing.He found Sunny's doctor, Dr. Richard Stork, and said that the couple was discussing divorce during this period, and asked Sunny's current situation, whether she was physically and psychologically strong enough to withstand the consequences. of various pressures".Dr. Stoke replied, yes.

Regarding Sunny's second coma, "the whole family had dinner together, watched a movie together, and went home together around 9 o'clock. When we got home, Sunny went to the bathroom, and that was the only time she was alone all night. What did she do in the bathroom? None of us knew. The only contact Cross had with Sunny was to bring her a bowl of chicken soup from the kitchen at her behest." "There's nothing in the chicken soup!" Herald Fallinger looked excited, "In fact, before that bowl of chicken soup, Sunny was already showing signs of illness... However, with so many of us gathered here today, we are just Based on such a suspicion!"

Herald pointed out that prosecutors for the prosecution said that doctors could not find any other reason for Sunny's deep coma other than "exogenous insulin", which was not the case.The experts hired by the defendant will prove to the court that there are at least three other possibilities: For example, the long-term accumulation of aspirin in Sunny's body, although it cannot be detected by blood tests, because it is limited to the circulation of serum plasma, etc. Metabolic system, but in Sunny's other "hard" organs, such as muscles, internal organs, etc., the content of aspirin is certainly not low.Sunny also took sleeping, sedative and hypnotic drugs in high doses for a long time, which should be similar to aspirin.In addition, Cross mentioned that on the day before the second coma, Sunny ate a total of about 10 glasses of custard mixed with spirits. A high level of alcohol was detected in Ni’s blood, because alcohol metabolizes so fast that it almost passes through the intestines.” Any one of the above three possibilities is in line with the relevant legal provisions of “unconscious self-destruction (Unconsciously self-induced)" definition.

As for why the insulin level in Sunny's blood is so high, Herald said that we don't really trust the handling of relevant samples by the Newport Hospital laboratory, because less than a month after the incident, those containing Sunny's blood samples The test tube was "thrown away".In the case of other samples lawyers and police investigators have seen at the lab, many of the tubes were not even labeled with when they were sampled, "and in Sunny's case timing was of the essence." "Before you make a verdict, please ask a few more reasons." Gerald Fallinger finally said, "Why on December 1, 1980, Klos von Prowess saved his wife's life? Why did he ask Doctor, can Sunny withstand the pressure of divorce? As a highly educated intellectual woman, why did Sunny von Prow take so many drugs with serious side effects for a long time, and kept silent about the various physical discomforts she experienced No words?" The overtone of this last sentence is that Sunny may be attempting slow suicide.

When Herald returned to his seat, Judge Thomas H. Needham turned to the jury: "You may think that my speech was harsh, but I have to remind you that although the speeches of both parties just now were very wonderful, what they said What you say does not necessarily match the facts... In this court, in this trial, you are the only masters, because it is up to you to discern the authenticity of all the testimonies presented... Finally, please remember, Your task is not to solve the case, but simply to decide whether Klose von Prowes tried to murder his wife."
