didn’t notice that one leg was a different size. And.. .you know.. .it didn’t look like she had a phlebitis. You know.
.
.sometimes people will get a clotted vein in their leg. You get a red leg, a swollen leg and.
. .
you know.
. .
it’ s obvious when they come in that.
.
.the guy says “My leg’s killing me” and.
.
.you know. And she
.
didn’t.. .you know...
|
• •
|
|
|
|
it didn’t look like that. It looked like. ..at the
|
|
|
|
•
|
•
|
time I remember her legs looked pretty symmetrical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I didn’t notice any difference in size, and so I
|
|
• • •
was surprised that he found that. So it may have.;..
|
|
|
|
|
|
it must have been sort of an.
.
.an occult thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It may have been sort of a.
.
.you know.. .not obvious
|
|
|
|
|
|
because we didn’t notice it.
|
|
|
Det.
|
Sudler:
|
|
Okay. Umm.
.
.were you aware that she had been in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
motor vehicle accident prior to her death?
|
|
|
Minkoff:
|
|
|
No, I wasn’t aware of it.
|
|
|
Det.
|
Sudler:
|
|
Okay. But there was no indication of that or any
|
|
|
|
|
|
old injury or healing injury or anything from that
|
|
|
|
|
|
that would...present to you?
|
|
|
Minkoff:
|
|
|
That I saw at the time.
.
.no.
|
|
|
Det.
|
Sudler:
|
|
Alright. Umm.
.
.so initially when she came in, did
|
|
|
•
|
|
•
|
she have.
.
.what were her vital signs?
|
|
|
Minkoff:
|
|
|
•
Well, when we.
.
.when we.. .when I got her, she wasn’t
|
|
•
|
•
|
|
|
breathing.
• • •
|
|
|
Det.
|
Sudler:
|
|
Okay.
• •
|
|
|
Minkoff:
|
|
|
Or she wasn’t breathing noticeably. Uh.
.
.so by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
time we hooked up the monitor, got the tube in her,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and started breathing her, she didn’t have a heart
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate either.
•
|
|
|
Det.
|
Sudler:
|
|
Alright.
|
|
|
Minkoff:
|
|
|
So when exactly that occurred I’m not sure. But
