1 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan. I have to confess something. 2 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: I think part of me is a frustrated linguist. I 3 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: always enjoy trying to understand the origins of words, kind 4 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: of where do they sprout from? And you know what 5 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: path do these words take to enter our everyday lexicon. 6 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: And I want to briefly mention a word right now, 7 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: the word and I'm not going to give you the 8 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: modern word yet, but you can kind of guess what 9 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: it might be. But this word originates from Latin, and 10 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: actually it originates from late Latin, like twelfth century, I think. 11 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: And the word is tortura. The true meaning of it 12 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: in its original form was twist. It also implies writhing. 13 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: Have you ever writhed in pain for a moment? There 14 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: was one little boy, a three year old, who writhed 15 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: many years ago in his name was Adam. Today on Bodybacks, 16 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: we're going to discuss the death of Adam Burhmhall in Oklahoma. 17 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is Bodybacks. The word tortura, 18 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: the word that we use nowadays is torture. Many of 19 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: us are familiar with that term, and people will kind 20 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: of throw that word around there's a lot of words 21 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: out there like that. People just kind of say they 22 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: don't really understand the essence of it. Some people will say, 23 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, this was torturous to sit here and have 24 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: to listen to or it was a torture's experience of 25 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: having to get together with family members perhaps you haven't 26 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: seen for a while on Thanksgiving, or my trip down 27 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: to the DMV was pure torture. I submit to you, No, 28 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: it's not, in the case of this sweet litt angel, 29 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: Adam Broomhall, his last moments on this earth, or truly torture. 30 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought it up that way because words 31 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: do get watered down. And when you mentioned torture in 32 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: this case, this defines it. I think Richard Fairchild what 33 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: he did to a three year old, twenty four pound 34 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: little boy in the last hours of his life, and 35 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: what he admitted to doing, and it is the most 36 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: horrific thing you can ever imagine reading about what happened 37 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: to a three year old boy weighing twenty four pounds. 38 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: Let's hear from Jackie Howard with crommelwan. 39 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: Adam Broomhall was the three year old son of Richard 40 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: Fairchild's girlfriend. The couple spent the day drinking. When Broomhall 41 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 3: woke up in the night, Fairchild began to beat the boy. 42 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: Then he burned both sides of the child's body by 43 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 3: pressing him against a furnace. As the beating continued, Fairchild 44 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: threw the twenty four pound child into a gning table, 45 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: knocking him unconscious. He never woke up. Broomhall died from 46 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: blunt force trauma to the head, but a pathologist was 47 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 3: able to note twenty six individual blows to the boy's body. 48 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: Richard Fairchild when he was talking to detectives about what 49 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: took place, he was able to legibly write out what 50 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: had happened. What happened to him is atrocious. How do 51 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: you go to court, Joe and break this down for 52 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: a jury? Do you have to tell the whole story 53 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: of what led up to it? Or do you get 54 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: into just the mathematics of here are the injuries, here's 55 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: what these injes and here's what caused his death. Is 56 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: it just graphic or is it graphic of explaining what 57 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: had taken place in the hours leading up to this? 58 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Look In my field, in medical legal death investigation, there 59 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: is a phrase that's kind of a road now. I'd 60 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: actually seen it many years ago on a T shirt. 61 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: I'd been at a conference in Baltimore and we had 62 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: been at Baltimore Police Department, specifically, we were hosted by 63 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: the Homicide Division of Baltimore PD. And there's all kinds 64 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: of terms that are out there. That had several T 65 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: shirts that they were selling and the money went to charity, 66 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: and one of the sayings on the shirt was we 67 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: speak for those that can no longer speak for themselves. 68 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: And we've heard that again. It's road, it's out there, 69 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: and another one that's kind of a bit KOI. There's 70 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: another old one that says our day begins when years ends, 71 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: and that's been around for a while. But I'd like 72 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: to address this kind of idea of we speak for 73 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: those that can no longer speak ourselves. As much of 74 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: the father that I have within me, and when I 75 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: say that, I mean as a father to my children. 76 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: I want so desperately to get on a stand and 77 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: tell his story, but we are bound by sticking to 78 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: the facts of what our area of expertise is. You 79 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: really try to keep everything within the guardrails. I'm prone 80 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: to use that term now because you can kind of 81 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: bounce off of them, but you stay in your lane essentially, 82 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: and so when we're up there, we're on the stand. 83 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: I can't really opine about the life that in a 84 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: case like Adam may have lived, and neither could these 85 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: investigators necessarily from a forensic standpoint. Now you can go 86 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: into the history. If you get an investigator did a 87 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: deep dive and they have it documented point by point, 88 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: it becomes kind of clinical because the questions that are 89 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: being asked, and that you're not going to be able 90 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: to get up there as much as you would want 91 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: to if your father or parent and emote. For us 92 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: in forensics, sometimes what seems to be very dry, mundane 93 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: details can actually paint a picture of pure horror when 94 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: you begin to ask those probit or you or asked 95 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: those probit of questions by counsel. When you start to 96 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: talk about how long does it take someone to die 97 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: from blo en forced trauma to the head, or what 98 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: kind of pain threshold the human beings have for being burned, 99 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: or what's it like for the victim to have been 100 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: punched or kicked or thrown about, what can we expect 101 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: what some body's reacting within that kind of dry science. 102 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: You breathe life into those that are gone. In the 103 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: case of Adam, the witnesses did a fine job because 104 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: I believe they brought him back to life. 105 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: In the courts. 106 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: Before the days of cell phones, and before I had 107 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: a loving wife and I was a single dude. I 108 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: would go to the laundromat and I'd read a book 109 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: as I watched my laundry being done, and every now 110 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and then I'd catch myself being captivated by the dryer. 111 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: You can look through that little class window and you 112 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: see it going around and around and around. You see 113 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: all those items and they're bouncing around benign. But in 114 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: Adam's case, it's like he was in a tumble drawer, 115 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: only with sharp edges, and the energy that was being 116 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: generated was being generated by someone that viewed him as 117 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: less than a three year old little boy, something less 118 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,679 Speaker 1: than a human. 119 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: What is so mind numbing about this? We have Adam Broumhall. 120 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: He's three years old and weighs twenty four pounds. I've 121 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: got several children, Okay, I've got four kids, and I 122 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: think all of them weighed more than twenty four pounds 123 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 2: when they were two. So am I right in that 124 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: is that seems to me to be a very small child. 125 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's small, he's on the smallish side. Yeah, i'd 126 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: have to agree with you. 127 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: So we've got a small child three years old, Adam. 128 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: We have the mother, Stacy, and then we have Stacy's boyfriend, 129 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: Richard Fairchild, going to Stacy's mother's house to drink all day. 130 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: I don't know if that was their purpose, but based 131 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: on what took place, I think it was to go 132 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 2: there and they had the kids. So they had mom 133 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: and Richard the boyfriend, and Stacy's mom and maybe a 134 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: few other adults in there, and they're drinking and playing cards, 135 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: watching TV and drinking while the children were playing in 136 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: a different room. When it came time to go home, 137 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: Richard Fairchild and Stacy were both too intoxicated to drive home, 138 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: and Stacy's mother said, no, you aren't driving home. She 139 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 2: tried to get them to spend the night there, and 140 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: they know we're going home. So Stacy's mother insisted that 141 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: her seventeen year old daughter named Charity Wade drive them home. 142 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: Charity drives the family home, gets there about ten thirty. 143 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: She checks on Adam's fine. The other children are fine 144 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: at ten thirty at night. Now, the charity was going 145 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: to spend the night because she was seventeen and sober, 146 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: she was going to spend the night there just to 147 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: make sure the children were taking care of during the 148 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: course of the evening. But somewhere in the course of 149 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: getting home and getting the kids situated, Richard Fairchild made 150 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: a sexual advance ants towards seventeen year old Charity Wade, 151 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: and so she did not feel safe to stay there, 152 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: and she left. We have the mother, Stacy and bet asleep. 153 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 2: We've got the three children at least in bed falling asleep, 154 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: and then we have Richard Fairchild drunk, hitting on a 155 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: seventeen year old. When Charity Wade left at ten thirty, 156 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: Adam was alive and resting. What took place after that, 157 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: between ten thirty that night and the next morning, poor 158 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: little Adam, three years old and twenty four pounds Joe, 159 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: he took a beating at the hands of Fairchild is 160 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: all I want to focus on. 161 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: Let me say something a remark about Fairchild. Not only 162 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: is Fairchild a grown man that is in dwelling this 163 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: home there with these kids, his girlfriend, and of course 164 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: the seventeen year oldest presidents. Well, just a bit of background. 165 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: This means an ex marine, an ex marine, all right. 166 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: And when we think about marines, and I have many 167 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: friends that are for marines, they don't like to be 168 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: called X marines. I think of somebody that's a protector. 169 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: You know, they got rough edges on them. You want 170 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: them to have rough edges, trust me for the job 171 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: that they have to do. But you think of somebody 172 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: that's a protector, and particularly those that are very innocent, 173 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: like a three year old. But that's not what happened 174 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: within this environment. And I remember my kids when they 175 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: were little, and I think every parent has an experience 176 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: with this and this you know, one of the things 177 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: that kind of set this whole story in motion is 178 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: the fact that Adam with the bed. He with the bed, 179 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: and that's what kids do. Now you can developmentally, you know, 180 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: children may have these moments in time where you think 181 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: that they're not going to kind of get out of 182 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: that phase, and some don't. Some have true and you 183 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: know it has to be treated, and there's any number 184 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: of reasons why that might happen. But my kid's with 185 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: the bed. Hell day, I wet the bed, all right, 186 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: every single one of us have wet the bed. If 187 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: that is that thing that is going to condemn us, 188 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: and in this case for Adam, if you view it 189 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: from that perspective where it's that touched on moment where 190 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: Adam was essentially condemned to death at that moment in time, 191 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: just let that sink in just for a second, because 192 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: he was having this nocturnal event going on where maybe 193 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: he drank too much before he went to bed. Maybe 194 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: he's scared. Gee, I wonder why his mom's in another room. 195 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: He's been moved around throughout the evening because we don't 196 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: know what had had transpired specifically relative to him to 197 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: maybe have upset his little system. We don't know if 198 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: perhaps there was ongoing abuse at the hands of this 199 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: individual that was part of the familial group. But when 200 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: Adam presents, he wakes up crying, Dave, which a lot 201 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: of kids do when they're with the bed, and many 202 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: times that crime is first off, there's shame with it. 203 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: I think even at three, perhaps you know, and how 204 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: are you going to hide it? You know? And even 205 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: in a three year old's mind, maybe he's been chastised 206 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: over It's not like they you necessarily come to him 207 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: say baby, it's okay. We're going to take care of 208 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: we're going to clean you up, we'll change the sheets, 209 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: it's all right, everything's gonna be okay. It's not the 210 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: end of the world. No. Instead, you get this reactive 211 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: event that takes place at the hands of a drunken 212 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: ex Marine and little Adam going back to that tumble dryer, 213 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: he is like he's trapped in this environment just for 214 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: a moment, and he begins to receive the beating of 215 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: all beatings. And this is that fair child's admission. He 216 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: admits to having done this to this child. You have 217 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: this baby being knocked around, he's essentially thrown against a table. 218 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: But before we. 219 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: Get right get to that point, there's a whole lot 220 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: that went in. Yeah, there truly is You mentioned waking 221 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: up crying. The child is crying because he wet the 222 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: bed and he's faced with a thirty year old ex Marine, 223 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: a drunk ex Marine. That's the part that has to 224 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: be painted properly. You've got a crying child because of 225 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: what the bed and a thirty year old X Marine 226 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: drunk is the one he has to face. 227 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no comfort there at all, there's only rage, 228 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: And how do you take the measure of that if 229 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: you're a three old child. I don't know. I don't 230 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: really have memories of being three years old. I cannot 231 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: begin to imagine what that horror must have been like 232 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: for this child. Was it like a quiet reaction where 233 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: the storm just kind of gathered and he's drunk. He 234 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: has been debating with this girlfriend's mother about not he 235 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: wanted to be at his home that night. He's the 236 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: driver behind this, and so the seventeen year old agrees, 237 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: but she wants to take care of these babies and 238 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: make sure that they're okay. There's other kids in this 239 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: scenario's two other children, and make sure that they get home. Well, 240 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: he's already irritated because potentially he's drunk. He's frustrated by 241 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: the fact that he's had to go home, people saying no, 242 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: you're going to stay here. He gets home, he sees 243 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: his girlfriend goes off to bed. So now you start 244 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: to with the moves on a seventeen year old. He 245 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: gets rejected, and you know, he just kind of sits 246 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: there in his chair or wherever he had parked himself, 247 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: and he's left alone with his thoughts in an inebriated state, 248 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: and the next sound that he hears is the sound 249 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: of crime. Adam hoping for help, hoping that someone will 250 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: comfort him, maybe for a change, extend mercy to him, 251 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: forgiveness for having what the bed, but that's far from 252 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: what he received. As an investigator, you go back and 253 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: you try to put the pieces in some kind of 254 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: order so that you can begin to understand what happened 255 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: in a very chaotic environment, and you're trying to make 256 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: sense of it from a forensic standpoint. You're trying to 257 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: understand if you have multiple injuries on an individual, kind 258 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: of what the order of injuries are, level of what 259 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: we referred to as the level of potential lethality, what's 260 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: going to be fatal and what's not going to be fatal, 261 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: or what has less of an opportunity as far as 262 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: injuries go to be fatal as opposed to that injury 263 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: that takes kind of the prompt spot in the pecking 264 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: order in Adam's case, Dave, there were any number of 265 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: injuries to kind of select Frum. 266 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: The picture is painted. We have a child waking up crying, 267 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 2: and we have a drunk thirty year old former marine. 268 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: According to his own admission, the first thing he did 269 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: fair child, he hit Adam in the face, hit him 270 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: in the mouth actually, and ruptured his lip. From there 271 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: on out, it just got worse. The crying that began 272 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: with wetting the bed now became crying over the pain fear. 273 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: What does it mean to have a ruptured lip? 274 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm so happy you asked this question, because in child 275 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: abuse cases in particular, one of the things that we 276 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: look for is if everybody, in the sound of my voice, 277 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: will take the tip of your tongue and there's a 278 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: little bit of tissue that attaches your lip to your gum, 279 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: you have it both superior and inferior. So it's going 280 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: to be an attachment in the maxillary area where you 281 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: have your teeth, the top teeth and then the lower 282 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: which is going to be your mangullary teeth. And that 283 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: little bit of tissue is called a frenulum. And many 284 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: times you'll see it with boxers, Okay, understandably when I 285 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: explain this, but you see it with kids. There's been 286 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,239 Speaker 1: some people that have speculated over the years that one 287 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: of the reasons abusers will hit kids in the mouth. 288 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: And again I'm getting into the psychology side here, but 289 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: I'll just I'll say this, and then I'll kind of 290 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: end it with this. They say it's a reaction to 291 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: the aggressor not want you to hear what is coming 292 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: out of the child's mouth, and so that frinulum will rupture. 293 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: You see it repeatedly in cases of child abuse, and 294 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: it's a reactive many times it's a reactive kind of 295 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: strike that happens. So if you will press, if you 296 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: can take your upper lip and press it tightly against 297 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: your maxilla up there, that bit of bone where your 298 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: maxileay teeth fit in, and you can move it back 299 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: and forth. That movement that you have either to the 300 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: left or the right will tear that bit of tissu. 301 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: That's a ruptured that's a ruptured frinual. You see that. 302 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: And then of course you can have a ruptured the 303 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: actual lip itself where it split open. People say, well, 304 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: I had a busted lip, that's part of it. But 305 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: I think probably if I were a betting man, I'd 306 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: say that the frenula is what they're talking about, and 307 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: it is reactive. You can learn a lot, I think 308 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: about the dynamic of the family. Fairchild could have struck 309 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: this child anywhere on his body, but he chose that 310 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: particular location. And what do we know was going on 311 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: at that moment? Tom, Well, this baby was crying, and 312 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: I can't say that that that necessarily proves this supposition 313 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: they struck the mouth because of this, but it seems 314 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: like at least one little indicator of what might have 315 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: been going on. But Dave, that wasn't enough, was it? No? 316 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: And that's the I will tell you. When I was 317 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: looking at this, a lot of people will immediately say, well, 318 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: if the crying was so loud that fair child reacted 319 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: in this way and hit the child in the mouth, 320 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: where's the mom? Well, to back up, and remember we 321 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: had a couple that had been drinking all day and 322 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: she was now in bed asleep. I was going to 323 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: say passed out. We have no proof of that. We 324 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: just know that she was asleep. Adam's mom was in 325 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: bed and did not wake up during what began with 326 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: that smack to the mouth. After waking up, but then 327 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: this thirty year old former marine with the three year old, 328 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,239 Speaker 2: twenty four pound atom, what fairchild does next? And I 329 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: guess in his stupor, he was trying to quiet him down, 330 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 2: trying to make him stop crying, but everything he did 331 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: caused more pain and caused him to cry out even more. 332 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 2: And I wonder, Joe, how do you, as the investigator 333 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: now put all of this together in order of what 334 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: took place in terms of the beating of Adam. I mean, 335 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: we know he's passed away, or we wouldn't be talking 336 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: about this right now, But you're having to come in 337 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 2: and redo the map. I guess backwards because you start 338 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: with the suspect and you start with the dead three 339 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 2: year old. How do you now put it in order? 340 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: Do you use purely what the suspect is telling you 341 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: and then couple that with what the body is telling you. 342 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: In this particular case, we have a statement by the 343 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: perpetrator here, I mean an actual statement as to what 344 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: he did to Adam. In cases where you have ongoing 345 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: abuse or you have an acute event, which I'm still 346 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: not clear if this was acute, again, I think I 347 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: would wager that there had been something else that had 348 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: happened prior to this. From an abuse standpoint, many times 349 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: we can only base it upon, particularly with child abuse cases, 350 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: we would base it upon the status of injuries or are 351 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: they in an acute phase where it had just happened, 352 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: or is there evidence of healing, because you'll get this 353 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: layering that goes on in child abuse cases and elder 354 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: abuse cases as well, where you'll have injuries that are 355 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: in various stages of resolving, like bruising. When you think 356 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: about that, but if we're just to look at Adam 357 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: Adam's remains and take away from his autopsy what they concluded, 358 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: it's really hard to make sense of that. Really, the 359 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: only thing that you can do is to try to 360 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: understand how did the tissue react, because the tissue will 361 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: respond to trauma. Was there any evidence that this may 362 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: have happened postmortem? And I can tell you this, and 363 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: this might be one of the more horrific parts to this. 364 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: We do know that in the next step, by fair 365 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: Child's admission, he took this baby and he held this 366 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: kid against a wall heater. He took this child and 367 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: he first pressed this child's chest into the wall heater. Now, 368 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: something I've learned about this wall heater is that the 369 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: grade on it had a grid pattern. Take a wild 370 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: guess as to why I know that, because that pattern 371 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: was burned into this child's skin. You had it not 372 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: just antiily. Then that wasn't enough because he took Adam 373 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: and he spun him around and he pressed his bare bottom, 374 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: his buttocks up against same gray and had that same 375 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: grid pattern on his buttocks, and at autopsy they concluded 376 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: that Adam had sustained second degree burns. When you begin 377 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: to measure these things out, the doctors, they're incredible people. 378 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: If you've never been around a nurse or a doctor 379 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: that specializes in burns and they work on a burn unit, 380 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. I could not 381 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: do it. That's with the living. But when we see 382 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: individuals come into the morgue, we have to grade these 383 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: degrees of burning that exist, and we've got essentially these 384 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: very kind of you'll get these kind of superficial injuries, 385 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, with the first degree, and that's kind of 386 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: like sunburn, but you start to get into second and 387 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: you're down into the dermis. At that point in tom 388 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: skin is highly irritated, it blisters up, and if there's 389 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: some kind of transfer, you can pick up patterns like this, 390 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: and then you go to third degree, which is you've 391 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: burned down through the dermis. Now you're starting right on 392 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: the fringes get into subkey fat, and a lot of 393 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: people don't realize that there's actually a fourth gree burn 394 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: that we get off into where you begin talk about 395 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: sculptal elements being visible. But in his case, he had 396 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: second gree burns and it would have been tortures. There 397 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: would have been a pain response that I don't know 398 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: that many of us could even begin to fathom. We 399 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: all have touched things that are hot over the course 400 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: of our lives, haven't we. We've picked up something waitress 401 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: that comes out to our table says now, sir, don't 402 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: touch this, as it's really hot, and guess what I do? 403 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: Inevitably touch the plate or whatever. But in this case, 404 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: there would have been a tremendous amount of pain that 405 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: this baby would have been experiencing. He's only three years old. 406 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 2: This was not just a conscious effort to cause pain. 407 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: This goes into that sadistic level of evil to turn 408 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: a child over and stick him again. 409 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: Hence our keyword today, tor Tora, this is torture. And 410 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: he even admits, you know, he says in his statement 411 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: that he held him up there. Well what does that mean? Well, 412 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: you're having to brace this child against this particular surface 413 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: that's piping hot. You know that it's hot, and there 414 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: would have been just from a reaction pain response, this 415 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: child would have tried to get away, would have tried 416 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: to lift his buttocks off of the surface or remove 417 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: his chest from being contacted by it. It wasn't enough. 418 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: Fair Child went on to say that I just kept 419 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: hitting him, kept hitting him in One of the other 420 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: things that they discovered at autopsy is that adams left 421 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: ear drum was burst, that he ruptured in the strikes. 422 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: He burst Adam's ear drum. 423 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 2: When I think about how a child's ear drum can 424 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: be ruptured, I think of them putting a pencil or 425 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 2: something in their ears. But how would and that's not 426 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: what happened. He hit him in the ear. How does 427 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: that happen, that one can rupture an ear drum merely 428 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 2: by hitting them and not on that side of the head. 429 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: You know, there's an old term that people used to use, 430 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: and I think we were talking about this before we 431 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: started taping that scene. And it's a Wonderful life where 432 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: young George goes to see the pharmacist. He thinks the 433 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: pharmacist has given bad medicine for the family are created, 434 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: and he gets what's referred to as his ears boxed. 435 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: And that's where the hand is cupped and the ear 436 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: is struck, and that's a pressure response where the pressure 437 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: changes so dramatically that the ear drum, this tympanic surface 438 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: will burst. It'll rupture or tear, you can get a 439 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: little hole in. It is very very painful. I mean, 440 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: it is excruciating, and this will burst the ear drum. 441 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: But this sounds as though I don't know that this 442 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: was a boxing of the ears. This sounds like this 443 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: was like kinetic energy where his hand is transferring all 444 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: of his energy down into the auditory canal, which by 445 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: the way, doesn't go straight straight across our axis. It 446 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: actually goes in and then down. This force was essentially 447 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: rained down upon this child's ear and the ear drum 448 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: wound up bursting, and this was discovered at autopsy. They 449 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: did obviously a very thorough autopsy in this case. They 450 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: suspected what was going on. I got to tell you, 451 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: on a side with autopsies, we're very thorough in these cases. 452 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: Most of the time you're not going to do a 453 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: deep dissection into the auditory canal. But in this case 454 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: they saw something that and maybe they had this circumstantial 455 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: information that had come up. Maybe they had the statement 456 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: they noted that maybe we need to take a look 457 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: at this child's this child's the inner workings of his ear. 458 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: And they went in there and happened to find that. 459 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: And that's one piece to this that begins to give 460 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: you an idea as to what Adam had endured. But 461 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: I think probably in conclusion with this series of trauma 462 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: this child had sustained. After he's beating him and he says, 463 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: I just kept hitting him, and he admits to this, 464 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: he finally threw and that's his words, threw Adam into 465 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: the side of a drop leaf table and that's where 466 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: he struck his head. Finally that final blow and Adam 467 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: sunk to the floor at that moment time and he 468 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: didn't move. But guess what, according to mister Fairchild, he 469 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: stopped screaming. He stopped screaming. At that moment time. That 470 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: child was dead, despite the best effort of everybody involved 471 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: in this. And it's at that moment Tom a fair 472 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: Child finally decides, well, I think I'll go in and 473 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: I'll wake up my girlfriend. And he went and woke 474 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: her up and she called nine to one one. And 475 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: there's nothing that the empts could have done for Adam. 476 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: Adam was dead at that moment. 477 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: In tom Oklahoma, Alma executed Richard Stephen Fairchild on his 478 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 2: sixty third birthday on November sixteenth of twenty twenty two. 479 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: He was declared dead at ten twenty four am. 480 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is body Backs
