Autopsy and Trial Tie Flawed Kill Theory to Head Impact
In Annapolis court martial proceedings over Midshipman Branch Jr death, surgeons testified the fatal brain hemorrhage most likely resulted from head impact with a hard surface rather than a fist blow. The defense cited autopsy findings showing no skull fracture, while witnesses noted multiple clots and possible timing of operations. Meriwether’s defense aimed to close its case as further testimony explored hospital records and autopsy details.
