O'Keefe Gastric Mucosa / Stomach Lining Photo (T2 Ex 164)
Trial 2 stomach-lining photograph showing redness and hemorrhages. Laposata described normal folds with some redness and no Wischnewski ulcers.
About
Used in Trial 2 in the dispute over hypothermia as a contributing cause of death: prosecution argued the hemorrhages covered only a small portion of the stomach lining and did not support a hypothermia diagnosis, while defense used the photograph comparatively.
An autopsy photograph of John O'Keefe's gastric mucosa showing redness and hemorrhages on the stomach lining, admitted in Trial 2. The exhibit's admission status was subject to procedural discussion during the Laposata testimony. Defense expert Laposata described the stomach as showing normal rugae with some redness but no Wischnewski ulcers.
