Courtroom transforms into lab during infant death trial
In Douglas County, defense attorney Sherri Loveland used a microscope to question forensic pathologist Dr. Kris Sperry about healing signs in Brandon Edwards injuries. Sperry testified the infant’s fatal brain and spinal cord bleeding came from severe shaking, and estimated the shaking lasted at least eight to ten seconds. He placed the fatal event roughly 15 minutes before discovery, suggesting Steven Edwards cared for Brandon at the time of injury. The judge denied a defense motion over licensing, as prosecutors prepare more witnesses while the defense awaits its case.
