O'Keefe Occipital Laceration Photo (T2 Ex 160)
Autopsy photograph of the back-of-head wound, abrasion and J-shaped mark with a scale. Laposata identified a ridged pattern and granular vertical markings.
About
A contested photograph in Trial 2: the J-shaped mark was not separately noted in Dr. Scordi-Bello's report, and no grass was found in the wound; Dr. Wolf used it to demonstrate blunt trauma characteristics consistent with a fall, while Laposata argued the wound pattern was inconsistent with flat ground impact.
An autopsy photograph of the back of John O'Keefe's head showing the occipital laceration, an associated abrasion, and a J-shaped mark, with a ruler for scale. Admitted in Trial 2 and analyzed by multiple expert witnesses. Defense expert Laposata identified a ridged pattern with granular vertical markings in the wound.
