1 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan. I have to confess something. 2 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: I think part of me is a frustrated linguist. I 3 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: always enjoy trying to understand the origins of words, kind 4 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: of where do they sprout from? And you know what 5 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: path do these words take to enter our everyday lexicon. 6 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: And I want to briefly mention a word right now, 7 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: the word and I'm not going to give you the 8 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: modern word yet, but you can kind of guess what 9 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: it might be. But this word originates from Latin, and 10 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: actually it originates from late Latin, like twelfth I think. 11 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: And the word is tortura. The true meaning of it 12 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: in its original form was twist. It also implies writhing. 13 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 1: Have you ever writhed in pain for a moment? There 14 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: was one little boy, a three year old who writhed 15 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: many years ago in his name was Adam. Today on 16 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: Body Backs, we're going to discuss the death of Adam 17 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: Burhmhall in Oklahoma. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is Bodybacks. 18 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: The word tortura, the word that we use nowadays is torture. 19 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: Many of us are familiar with that term, and people 20 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: will kind of throw that word around there's a lot 21 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: of words out there like that. People just kind of 22 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: say they don't really understand the essence of it. Some 23 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: people will say, you know, this was torturous to sit 24 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: here and have to listen to or it was a 25 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: torture's experience of having to get together with family members 26 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: perhaps you haven't seen for a while on Thanksgiving, or 27 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: my trip down to the DMV was pure torture. I 28 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: submit to you, No, it's not, in the case of 29 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: this sweet little angel, Adam Broomhall, his last moments on 30 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: this earth, or truly torture. 31 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought it up that way because words 32 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: do get watered down. And when you mentioned torture in 33 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: this case, this defines it. I think Richard Fairchild what 34 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: he did to a three year old, twenty four pound 35 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: little boy in the last hours of his life, and 36 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: what he admitted to doing, and it is the most 37 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: horrific thing you can ever imagine reading about what happened 38 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: to a three year old boy weighing twenty four pounds. 39 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: Let's hear from Jackie Howard with crommelaan. 40 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: Adam Broomhall was the three year old son of Richard 41 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 3: Fairchild's girlfriend. The couple spent the day drinking. When Broomhall 42 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: woke up in the night, Fairchild began to beat the boy. 43 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 3: Then he burned both sides of the child's body by 44 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 3: pressing him against a furnace. As the beating continued, fair 45 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: Child through the twenty four pound child into a gning table, 46 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 3: knocking him unconscious. He never woke up. Broomhall died from 47 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: blunt force trauma to the head, but a pathologist was 48 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: able to note twenty six individual blows to the boy's body. 49 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: Richard Fairchild when he was talking to detectives about what 50 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: took place, he was able to legibly write out what 51 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: had happened. What happened to him is atrocious. How do 52 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: you go to court, Joe and break this down for 53 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: a jury? Do you have to tell the whole story 54 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: of what led up to it? Or do you get 55 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: into just the mathematics of here are the injuries, here's 56 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: what these injuries he's mean, and here's what caused his death. 57 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: Is it just graphic or is it graphic of explaining 58 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: what had taken place in the hours leading up to this? 59 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: Look In my field, in medical legal death investigation, there 60 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: is a phrase that's kind of a road now. I'd 61 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: actually seen it many years ago on a T shirt. 62 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: I'd been at a conference in Baltimore and we had 63 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: been at Baltimore Police Department, specifically, we were hosted by 64 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: the Homicide Division of Baltimore PD. And there's all kinds 65 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: of terms that are out there. That had several T 66 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: shirts that they were selling and the money went to charity, 67 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: and one of the sayings on the shirt was we 68 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: speak for those that can no longer speak for themselves. 69 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: And we've heard that again. It's road, it's out there, 70 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: and another one that's kind of a bit KOI. There's 71 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: another old one that says our day begins when years ends, 72 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: and that's been around for a while. But I'd like 73 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: to address this kind of idea of we speak for 74 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: those that can no longer speak for ourselves. As much 75 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: of the father that I have within me, and when 76 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: I say that, I mean as a father to my children. 77 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: I want so desperately to get on a stand and 78 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: tell his story, but we are bound by sticking to 79 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: the facts of what our area of expertise is. You 80 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: really try to keep everything within the guardrails. I'm prone 81 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: to use that term now because you can kind of 82 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: bounce off of them, but you stay in your lane essentially, 83 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: and so when we're up there, we're on the stand 84 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: I can't really opine about the life that in a 85 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: case like Adam may have lived, and neither could these 86 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: investigators necessarily from a forensic standpoint. Now you can go 87 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: into the history. If you get an investigator did a 88 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: deep dive and they have it documented point by point, 89 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: it becomes kind of clinical because the questions that are 90 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: being asked and that you're not going to be able 91 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: to get up there as much as you would want 92 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: to if your father or parent and emote for us 93 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: in forensics, sometimes what seems to be very dry, mundane 94 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: details can actually paint a picture of pure horror when 95 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: you begin to ask those probit or you or asked 96 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: those probit of questions by counsel. When you start to 97 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 1: talk about how long does it take someone to die 98 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: from blo enforced trauma to the head, or what kind 99 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: of pain threshold the human beings have for being burned, 100 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: or what's it like for the victim to have been 101 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: punched or kicked or thrown about what can we expect 102 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: what some body's reacting within that kind of dry science, 103 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: you breathe life into those that are gone. In the 104 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: case of Adam, the witnesses did a fine job because 105 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: I believe they brought him back to life. In the 106 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: court before the days of cell phones, and before I 107 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: had a loving wife and I was a single dude. 108 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: I would go to the laundromat and I'd read a 109 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: book as I watched my laundry being done, and every 110 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: now and then I'd catch myself being captivated by the dryer. 111 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: You can look through that little class window and you 112 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: see it going around and around and around. You see 113 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: all those items and they're bouncing around benign. But in 114 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: Adam's case, it's like he was in a tumble drawer, 115 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: only with sharp edges, and the energy that was being 116 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: generated was being generated by someone that viewed him as 117 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: less than a three year old little boy, something less 118 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: than a human. 119 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: What is so mind numbing about this? We have Adam Broumhall. 120 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: He's three years old and weighs twenty four pounds. I've 121 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: got several children, Okay, I've got four kids, and I 122 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: think all of them weighed more than twenty four pounds 123 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: when they were two. So am I right in that? 124 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: Is that seems to me to be a very small child. 125 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's small, he's on the smallish side. Yeah, i'd 126 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: have to agree with you. 127 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: So we've got a small child three years old, Adam. 128 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: We have the mother, Stacy, and then we have Stacy's boyfriend, 129 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: Richard Fairchild, going to Stacy's mother's house to drink all day. 130 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if that was their purpose, but based 131 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 2: on what took place, I think it was to go 132 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: there and they had the kids. So they had mom 133 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: and Richard the boyfriend, and Stacy's mom and maybe a 134 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: few other adults in there and they're drinking and playing cards, 135 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: watching TV and drinking while the children were playing in 136 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: a different room. When it came time to go home, 137 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: Richard Fairchild and Stacy were both too intoxicated to drive home, 138 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: and Stacy's mother said, no, you aren't driving home. She 139 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: tried to get them to spend the night there, and 140 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: they know we're going home. So Stacy's mother insisted that 141 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: her seventeen year old daughter named Charity Wade drive them home. 142 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: Charity drives the family home, gets there about ten thirty. 143 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: She checks on Adam's fine. The other children are fine. 144 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: At ten thirty at night. Now, the charity was going 145 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: to spend the night because she was seventeen and sober. 146 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: She was going to spend the night there just to 147 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: make sure the children were taking care of during the 148 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: course of the evening. But somewhere in the course of 149 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: getting home and getting the kids situated, Richard Fairchild made 150 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 2: a sexual advance ants towards seventeen year old Charity Wade, 151 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: and so she did not feel safe to stay there, 152 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: and she left. We have the mother Stacy and bet asleep. 153 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: We've got three children at least in bed falling asleep, 154 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: and then we have Richard Fairchild drunk, hitting on a 155 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: seventeen year old. When Charity Wade left at ten thirty, 156 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: Adam was alive and resting. What took place after that 157 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: between ten thirty that night and the next morning, poor 158 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: little Adam, three years old and twenty four pounds Joe, 159 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: he took a beating at the hands of Fairchild is 160 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: all I want to focus on. 161 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: Let me say something a remark about Fairchild. Not only 162 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: is Fairchild a grown man that is in dwelling this 163 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: home there with these kids, his girlfriend, and of course 164 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: the seventeen year oldest president is well, just a bit 165 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: of background. This means an ex marine, an ex marine, 166 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: all right. And when we think about marines, and I 167 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: have many friends that are for marines, they don't like 168 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: to be called X marines. I think of somebody that's 169 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: a protector. You know, they got rough edges on them. 170 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: You want them to have rough edges, trust me for 171 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: the job that they have to do. But you think 172 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: of somebody that's a protector, and particularly those that are 173 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: very innocent, like a three year old. But that's not 174 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: what happened within this environment. And I remember my kids 175 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: when they were little, and I think every parent has 176 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: an experience with this and this you know, one of 177 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: the things that kind of set this whole story in 178 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: motion is the fact that Adam with the bed. He 179 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: with the bed, and that's what kids do. Now you 180 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: can developmentally, you know, children may have these moments in 181 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: time where you think that they're not going to kind 182 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: of get out of that phase, and some don't. Some 183 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: have trouble and you know it has to be treated. 184 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: And there's any number of reasons why that might happen. 185 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: But my kid's with the bed. Hell day, I wet 186 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: the bed, all right, every single one of us have 187 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: wet the bed. If that is that thing that is 188 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: going to condemn us, and in this case for Adam, 189 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: if you view it from that perspective where it's that 190 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: touched on moment where Adam was essentially condemned to death 191 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: at that moment in time, just let that sink in 192 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: just for a second, because he was having this nocturnal 193 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: event going on where maybe he drank too much before 194 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: he went to bed. Maybe he's scared. Gee, I wonder 195 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: why his mom's in another room. He's been moved around 196 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: throughout the evening because we don't know what had had 197 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: transpired specifically relative to him to maybe have upset his 198 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: little system. We don't know if perhaps there was ongoing 199 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: abuse at the hands of this individual that was part 200 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: of the familial group. But when Adam presents, he wakes 201 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: up crying, Dave, which a lot of kids do when 202 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: they're with the bed, and many times that crime is 203 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: first off, they're shame with it. I think even at three, 204 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: perhaps you know, and how are you going to hide it? 205 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: You know? And even in a three year old's mind, 206 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: maybe he's been chastised over it's not like they you 207 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: necessarily come to him say baby, it's okay, we're going 208 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: to take care of we're going to clean you up, 209 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: we'll change the sheets, it's it's all right, everything's gonna 210 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: be okay. It's not the end of the world. 211 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: No. 212 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: Instead, you get this reactive event that takes place at 213 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: the hands of a drunken ex Marine and little Adam 214 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: going back to that tumble dryer, he is like he's 215 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: trapped in this environment just for a moment, and he 216 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: begins to receive the beating of all beatings. And this 217 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: is a fair child's admission. He admits to having done 218 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: this to this child. You have this baby being knocked around. 219 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: He's essentially thrown against a table. But before we. 220 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 2: Get right get to that point, there's a whole lot 221 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: that went in. 222 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, there truly is. 223 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: You mentioned waking up crying. The child is crying because 224 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: he wet the bed and he's faced with a thirty 225 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 2: year old ex Marine, a drunk ex Marine. That's the 226 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: part that has to be painted properly. You've got a 227 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: crying child because you what the bed and a thirty 228 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: year old X Marine drunk is the one he has 229 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: to face. 230 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no comfort there at all. There's only rage. 231 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: And how do you take the measure of that if 232 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: you're a three old child. I don't know. I don't 233 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: really have memories of being three years old. I cannot 234 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: begin to imagine what that horror must have been like 235 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: for this child. Was it like a quiet reaction where 236 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: the storm just kind of gathered and he's drunk. He 237 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: has been debating with this girlfriend's mother about not he 238 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: wanted to be at his home that night. He's the 239 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: driver behind this, and so the seventeen year old agrees, 240 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: but she wants to take care of these babies and 241 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: make sure that they're okay. There's other kids in this 242 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: scenario's two other children, and make sure that they get home. Well, 243 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: he's already irritated because potentially he's drunk. He's frustrated by 244 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: the fact that he's had to go home, people saying no, 245 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: you're going to stay here. He gets home, he sees 246 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: his girlfriend goes off to bed. So now you start 247 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: to put the moves on a seventeen year old. He 248 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: gets rejected, and you know, he just kind of sits 249 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: there in his chair or wherever he had parked himself 250 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: and he's left alone with his thoughts in an inebriated state, 251 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: and the next sound that he hears is the sound 252 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: of crime, and it's at him, hoping for help, hoping 253 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: that someone will comfort him, maybe for a change, extend 254 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: mercy to him, forgiveness for having what the bed, But 255 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: that's far from what he received. As an investigator, you 256 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: go back and you try to put the pieces in 257 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: some kind of order so that you can begin to 258 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: understand what happened in a very chaotic environment, and you're 259 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: trying to make sense of it from a forensic standpoint. 260 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: You're trying to understand if you have multiple injuries on 261 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: an individual, kind of what the order of injuries are, 262 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: level of what we referred to as the level of 263 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: potential lethality, what's going to be fatal and what's not 264 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: going to be fatal, or what has less of an 265 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: opportunity as far as injuries go to be fatal as 266 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: opposed to that injury that takes kind of the prompt 267 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: spot in the pecking order in Adam's case, Dave, there 268 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: were any number of injuries to kind of select from. 269 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 2: The picture is painted. We have a child waking up crying, 270 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 2: and we have a drunk thirty year old former marine. 271 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: According to his own admission, the first thing he did, 272 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 2: fair child, he hit Adam in the face, hit him 273 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: in the mouth actually, and ruptured his lip. From there 274 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: on out, it just got worse. The crying that began 275 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: with wetting the bed now became crying over the pain fear. 276 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: What does it mean to have a ruptured lip? 277 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm so happy you asked this question, because in child 278 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: abuse cases in particular, one of the things that we 279 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: look for or is if everybody, in the sound of 280 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: my voice, will take the tip of your tongue and 281 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of tissue that attaches your lip 282 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: to your gum, you have it both superior and inferior. 283 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: So it's going to be an attachment in the maxillary 284 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: area where you have your teeth, the top teeth and 285 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: then the lower which is going to be your mangullary teeth. 286 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: And that little bit of tissue is called a frenulum. 287 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: And many times you'll see it with boxers, okay, understandably 288 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: when I explain this, but you see it with kids. 289 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: And there's been some people that have speculated over the 290 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: years that one of the reasons abusers will hit kids 291 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: in the mouth. And again I'm getting into the psychology 292 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: side here, but I'll just I'll say this and then 293 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: I'll kind of end it with this. They say it's 294 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: a reaction to the aggressor not want you to hear 295 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: what is coming out of the child's mouth, and so 296 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: that frinulum will rupture. You see it repeatedly in cases 297 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: of child abuse, and it's a reactive many times it's 298 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: a reactive kind of strike that happens. So if you 299 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: will press, if you can take your upper lip and 300 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: press it tightly against your maxilla up there that bit 301 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: of bone where your maxiley teeth fit in, and you 302 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: can move it back and forth, that movement that you 303 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: have either to the left or the right will tear 304 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: that bit of tissue. That's a ruptured that's a ruptured frinual. 305 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: You see that. And then of course you can have 306 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: a ruptured the actual lip itself where it split open. 307 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: People say, well, I had a busted lip, that's part 308 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: of it. But I think probably if I were a 309 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: betting man, I'd say that the frenula is what they're 310 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: talking about, and it is reactive. You can learn a 311 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: lot I think about the dynamic of the family. Fairchild 312 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: could have struck this child anywhere on his body, but 313 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: he chose that particular location. And what do we know 314 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: was going on at that moment? Tom, Well, this baby 315 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: was crying, and I can't say that that that necessarily 316 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: proves this supposition they struck the mouth because of this, 317 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: but it seems like at least one little indicator of 318 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: what might have been going on. But Dave, that wasn't enough, 319 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: was it. No? 320 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: And that's the I will tell you. When I was 321 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 2: looking at this, a lot of people will immediately say, well, 322 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: if the crying was so loud that fair Child reacted 323 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: in this way and hit the child in the mouth, 324 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 2: where's the mom? Well, to back up, and remember we 325 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: had a couple that had been drinking all day and 326 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: she was now in bed asleep. I was going to 327 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 2: say passed out. We have no proof of that. We 328 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: just know that she was asleep. Adam's mom was in 329 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: bed and did not wake up during what began with 330 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: that smack to the mouth. After waking up, but then 331 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: this thirty year old former marine with the three year old, 332 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 2: twenty four pound atom, what Fairchild does next? Then I 333 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 2: guess in his stupor, he was trying to quiet him down, 334 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 2: trying to make him stop crying, but everything he did 335 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 2: caused more pain and caused him to cry out even more. 336 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: And I wonder, Joe, how do you, as the investigator 337 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: now put all of this together in order of what 338 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: took place in terms of the beating of Adam. I mean, 339 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 2: we know he's passed away, or we wouldn't be talking 340 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: about this right now, but you're having to come in 341 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: and redo the map. I guess backwards, because you start 342 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 2: with the suspect and you start with the dead three 343 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: year old. How do you now put it in order? 344 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: Do you use purely what the suspect is telling you 345 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 2: and then couple that with what the body is telling you. 346 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: In this particular case, we have a statement by the 347 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 1: perpetrator here, I mean an actual statement as to what 348 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: he did to Adam. In cases where you have ongoing 349 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: abuse or you have an acute event, which I'm still 350 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: not clear if this was acute, again, I think I 351 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: would wager that there had been something else that had 352 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: happened prior to this. From an abuse standpoint, many times 353 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: we can only base it upon, particularly with child abuse, cases, 354 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: we would base it upon the status of injuries. Are 355 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: they in an acute phase where it had just happened, 356 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: or is there evidence of healing, because you'll get this 357 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: layering that goes on in child abuse cases and elder 358 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: abuse cases as well, where you'll have injuries that are 359 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: in various stages of resolving, like bruising. When you think 360 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: about that, but if we're just to look at Adam 361 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: Adam's remains and take away from his autopsy what they concluded, 362 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: it's really hard to make sense of that. Really, the 363 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: only thing that you can do is to try to 364 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: understand how did the tissue react, because the tissue will 365 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: respond to trauma. Is there any evidence that this may 366 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: have happened postmortem? And I can tell you this, and 367 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: this might be one of the more horrific parts to this. 368 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: We do know that in the next step, by fair 369 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: Child's admission, he took this baby and he held this 370 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: kid against a wall heater. He took this child and 371 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: he first pressed this child's chest into the wall heater. Now, 372 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: something I've learned about this wall heater is that the 373 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: grade on it had a grid pattern. To take a 374 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: wild guess as to why I know that because that 375 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: pattern was burned into this child's skin, you had it 376 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: not just antiily. Then that wasn't enough, because he took 377 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: Adam and he spun him around and he pressed his 378 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: bare bottom, his buttocks up against same grade and had 379 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: that same grid pattern on his buttocks, and at autopsy 380 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: they concluded that Adam had sustained second degree burns. When 381 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: you begin to measure these things out, the doctors, they're 382 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: incredible people. If you've never been around a nurse or 383 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: a doctor that specializes in burns and they work on 384 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: a burn unit, I don't know how they do it. 385 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: I could not do it. That's with the living. But 386 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: when we see individuals come into the morgue, we have 387 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: to grade these degrees of burning that exist, and we've 388 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: got essentially these very kind of you'll get these kind 389 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: of superficial injuries, you know, with the first degree, and 390 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: that's kind of like sunburn, but you start to get 391 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: into second and you're down into the dermos. At that 392 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: point in time, skin is highly irritated, it blisters up, 393 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: and if there's some kind of transfer, you can pick 394 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: up patterns like this, and then you go to third degree, 395 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: which is you've burned down through the dermist. Now you're 396 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: starting right on the fringes, get into subkey fat, and 397 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize that there's actually a 398 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: fourth gree burn that we get off into where you 399 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: begin talk about sculptal illness being visible. But in his case, 400 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: he had second gree burns and it would have been tortures. 401 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: There would have been a pain response that I don't 402 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: know that many of us could even begin to fathom. 403 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: We all have touched things that are hot over the 404 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: course of our lives, haven't we. We've picked up something 405 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: waitress that comes out to our table says now, sir, 406 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: don't touch this, this is really hot, and guess what 407 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: I do inevitably touch the plate or whatever. But in 408 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: this case, there would have been a tremendous amount of 409 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: pain that this baby would have been experiencing. He's only 410 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: three years old. 411 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: This was not just a conscious effort to cause pain. 412 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: This goes into that sadistic level of evil to turn 413 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: a child over and stick him again. 414 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: Hence our keyword today, tor Tora, this is torture. And 415 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: he even admits, you know, he says in his statement 416 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: that he held him up there. Well, what does that mean, well, 417 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: you're having to brace this child against this particular surface 418 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: that's piping hot. You know that it's hot, and there 419 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: would have been just from a reaction pain response, this 420 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: child would have tried to get away, would have tried 421 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: to lift his buttocks off of the surface or remove 422 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: his chest from being contacted by it. It wasn't enough. 423 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: Fair Child went on to say that I just kept 424 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: hitting him, kept hitting him in. One of the other 425 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: things that they discovered at autopsy is that adams left 426 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: ear drum was burst, that he ruptured in the strikes. 427 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: He burst Adam's ear drum. 428 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 2: When I think about how a child's ear drum can 429 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: be ruptured, I think of them putting a pencil or 430 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: something in their ears. But how would and that's not 431 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 2: what happened. He hit him in the ear. How does 432 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: that happen, that one can rupture an ear drum merely 433 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: by hitting them and not on that side of the head. 434 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, there's an old term that people used to use, 435 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: and I think we were talking about this before we 436 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: started taping that scene. And it's a Wonderful life where 437 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: young George goes to see the pharmacist. He thinks the 438 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: pharmacist has given bad medicine for the family are created 439 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: and he gets what's referred to as his ears boxed. 440 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: And that's where the hand is cupped and the ear 441 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: is struck. And that's a pressure response where the pressure 442 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: changes so dramatically that the ear drum, this tympanic surface 443 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: will burst. It'll rupture or tear, you can get a 444 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: little hole in. It is very very painful. I mean, 445 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: it is excruciating, and this will burst the ear drump. 446 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: But this sounds as though I don't know that this 447 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: was a boxing of the ears. This sounds like this 448 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: was like kinetic energy where his hand is transferring all 449 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: of his energy down into the auditory canal, which, by 450 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: the way, and go straight straight across our axis. It 451 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: actually goes in and then down. This force was essentially 452 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: rained down upon this child's ear and the ear drum 453 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: wound up bursting. And this was discovered at autopsy. They 454 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: did obviously a very thorough autopsy in this case. They 455 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: suspected what was going on. I got to tell you, 456 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: on a side with autopsies, we're very thorough in these cases. 457 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: Most of the time you're not going to do a 458 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: deep dissection into the auditory canal. But in this case, 459 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: they saw something that and maybe they had this circumstantial 460 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: information that had come up. Maybe they had the statement 461 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: they noted that maybe we need to take a look 462 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: at this child's this child's the inner workings of his ear. 463 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: And they went in there and happened to find that. 464 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: And that's that's one piece to this that begins to 465 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: give you an idea as to what Adam had endured. 466 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: But I think probably in conclusion with this series of 467 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: trauma this child had sustained. After he's beating him, and 468 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: he says, I just kept hitting him, and he admits 469 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: to this, he finally threw and that's his words, threw 470 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: Adam into the side of a drop leaf table and 471 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: that's where he struck his head. Finally, that final blow 472 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: and Adam sunk to the floor. At that moment, Tom, 473 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: and he didn't move. But guess what, according to mister Fairchild, 474 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: he stopped screaming. He stopped screaming at that moment time 475 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: that child was dead, despite the best effort of everybody 476 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: involved in this. And it's at that moment Tom a 477 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: fair Child finally decides, well, I think I'll go in 478 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: and I'll wake up my girlfriend. And he went and 479 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: woke her up, and she called nine to one one. 480 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: And there's nothing that the empts could have done for Adam. 481 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: Adam was dead at that moment. In tom Oklahoma. 482 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: I'm executed Richard Stephen Fairchild on his sixty third birthday 483 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: on November sixteenth of twenty twenty two. He was declared 484 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 2: dead at ten twenty four am. 485 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this is Body Backs
