REBUTTAL WITNESS: Medical Examiner Dr. Erik Christensen testifies in Chad Daybell trial

[@plaidspolitics]

Much respect to Dr. Christensen and Medical Examiner Office in Utah. Dr. Todd Gray was charged with the autopsy in my son's death, and I was completely ignorant about the process at the time. I had assumed that they would basically do what a surgeon might in an operating room and then once that was complete we would have the answers even before burial. What I didn't understand is that it takes more than just the examination. In our situation, it took months to have a suggested cause of death. I didn't see the other testimony of Dr. Christensen, but in this the only thing as a juror I might want to know is on the inflammation of the lung issue, if it could have been a _contributing_ factor in Tammy's cause of death. But I don't know if that had been clearly ruled out in this testimony so if I had to decide if it was possible something other than homicide played a role in her death, I'd have liked that clarified. I imagine that since he said it was normal to have inflammation, that it also suggests that it was not contributory. And even if it was contributory, the primary cause of death still did not appear to have any natural, toxicology, or cause besides intentional from what I understood. I really am grateful there is a thorough trial and that such professional people such as Dr. Christensen were involved. I hope that Tammy, Tylee, and JJ and all those who truly love them are able to have peace and this process finds a way for justice to be served in their behalf.

Chad had two children, one dismembered, both burned and buried on his property. And a short time later was pictured dancing on a beach in Hawaii. If he was innocent, he'd want to testify on the stand. Chad knows what time it is.

[@leannemori9688]

Only one child was dismembered and burned

[@doremefasolateeda]

@@leannemori9688 I know. But two children were buried on his property. Are you going to dispute that too!

[@doremefasolateeda]

@@leannemori9688 I edited my comment. I mean, need I say more? Need I make any more corrections?

[@carolannpacificadam1944]

Not his children.

[@lornaowens4673]

But they live in his house. I can't call it a home, because a home is deemed to be a place where they will feel safe. Apparently they were not safe in this place

[@gailhawthorne8856]

Prior thought he was the smartest person in the room today! 😂

[@dorothypettijohn1037]

He always acts that way, I think he is far down on the list.

[@Lifewithpersians]

That was part of why he was horrible with this defense. Ego and arrogance got in his way. This cross examination is another example of his poor judgement

[@wilmacarle7833]

Prior is so annoying and condescending. So unprofessional!

[@JeremiahsLot]

Maybe Prior is “translating”

[@gailhawthorne8856]

Prior trying to act like a medical doctor!

[@bonnylouwho76]

As much as we all shudder and cringe at Pryors behavior-hasn't anyone realized that his behavior actually provides the faulty foil for the support of the Prosecution. He also solidifies the facts into place in order to circumvent future appeals. He must be SICK of this case and SICK of Chad. He DID ask to get out of this job because there was no more of Tammy's life insurance-blood splashed all over this case from his (alleged)murder of his former wife.

[@erykahm4307]

Yeah people forget he really tried to get out of it. Who would want to defend Chad lol. Lori's lawyers were just as weak. They know the evidence is heavy against their clients.

[@sandigrace2271]

I wonder why Mr Prior calls the Judge, "Judge," rather than "Your Honor"? It would be funny if the Judge called Mr Prior, "Lawyer."

[@skyleawood2649]

"Weeble Wobble" Prior was sure proud of himself as he stormed off after his questioning. 😂😮😂

[@tammarrafoote5917]

More information is better than not enough!!

[@pbcaylor_1]

If I were on the jury … I think I would be very weary of having Prior staring me down

[@shewearsfunnyhat]

Prior is being an ass. There is no need to be this rude or disrespectful.

[@catherinearmstrong388]

Why does Prior get himself all wound up …sounds like a guy with real bad hemorrhoids.

[@elkbowhntr]

He doesn't have a case, so he's trying to intimidate. IMO

[@janiceelliott1974]

Prior is so annoying!!!? Give it a rest Prior!!!!!

[@tammarrafoote5917]

BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INFLAMMATION!!! GEEZ...

[@katieedwards6444]

I'm starting to realize why I find Mr. Prior so annoying, he speaks in the cadence of Tucker Carlson eww

[@fickle49]

EEEEW!! Now you've made me think of Tucker!! Also, yes you are right!! 😂

[@sharonjohnson2716]

And he has that creepy whisper thing going on like Biden. Ick.

[@fatalberti]

these lawyers never heard of colloidal silver. sheltered.

[@innervisions1828]

Doesn't mean they are sheltered. It means they aren't interested in health scams and hoaxes about products that have no known function in the body and are not essential minerals. There is no good scientific evidence to support any of its uses. Colloidal silver is not safe to eat. It can cause dangerous side effects like kidney damage and seizures. It can help with some skin wounds, but there is no evidence that it helps with any other health conditions.can improve your immune system and fight bacteria and viruses. Manufacturers say these products can treat cancer, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, shingles, herpes, acne, eye diseases and prostatitis. Gimme a break.

[@FaithBurger]

Prior is doing an unpopular job attempting to sow doubt. Despite being tech challenged, i admire his uphill battle.

[@dragonfly111cute]

Prior is so annoying and obstinate

[@JeremiahsLot]

Chad is more animated today. Prior must have talked to him about it…

[@lisagrande9266]

Goodbye Chad !!

[@Marleyana1]

Soooo was there inflammation or nah?!? Lol

[@ermaek2145]

I'm not a lawyer but I have would have liked Dr. Christensen asked HOW he made sure that all the additional information to the autopsy information didn't lead him to an unscientific or untruthful conclusion. What are the methods he uses in his work to make sure the additional information doesn't guide his conclusions inappropriately?

[@kevincallaghan3212]

He clearly says how he does that

[@juliechilcott6435]

A filthy desperate lawyer prior is what a horrible individual
