Frank Sheridan
Trial 1 160 lines of testimony
Dr. Frank Sheridan is a forensic pathologist retained by the defense in Trial 1 who testified on Day 30. Working from photographs and reports rather than direct examination of the body, Sheridan offered opinions on O'Keefe's injuries that supported the defense theory: that the arm wounds reflected a dog attack rather than vehicle contact, and that the fatal head injury would have caused immediate unconsciousness, meaning O'Keefe could not have moved after sustaining it. His testimony was confined to a single day covering direct examination, cross-examination, and a brief redirect.
