was there any doubt in your mind as you worked over juel shermer's body in this room that she was murdered that category
00:00:08
was always in my mind homicide was always in my mind and what pattern did you notice on Mrs Shermer that day I
00:00:16
noticed two linear tears to the right side of the head do you get fractures in the pattern that you saw on juwel shmer
00:00:23
from falling downstairs ultimately we concluded no and the reason why we concluded no is we did an extensive
00:00:29
amount of testing the experts pushed the dummies down the stairs what we did was we had Crash Test
00:00:37
Dummies we brought them out beforehand we put chalk all over the head and the chalk is there to help us analyze where
00:00:47
the head strikes occur how did the injuries the injuries that the crash test dummy suffer differ from the
00:00:55
injuries that you found on juel shermer's body the strikes to the Head were different areas than o ju shmer
00:01:02
there's no evidence of a neck injury juul shmer did not have any Orthopedic injuries to her ribs or pelvis
00:01:09
ultimately we conclude she didn't fall down a flight of steps what do you think happened to her well I believe that she
00:01:14
was beaten and my conclusion she was beaten with an object can you say what kind of object I believe it was a long
00:01:21
cylindrical object such as a pipe or maybe um crowbar something along those lines
00:01:30
let's talk about Betty sure how did you hear that Betty Shermer had died well I was contacted by the district attorney
00:01:36
Monroe County Mike manuso so he told you about the circumstances of Betty shermer's death yes he did and what was
00:01:44
your thought obviously my most obvious thought was she had died of traumatic brain injury and it was a
00:01:51
homicide and how could we ultimately figure this out well we did have some photographs but we did not have an
00:01:59
autopsy on unfortunately the body had been crated what we did was we got the CAT scans that she had had done on her
00:02:05
head at the two hospitals well this is an actual three-dimensional reconstruction of the CAT scan of of
00:02:12
Bendy Sherman the right side of her head and these tears are what we refer to as
00:02:16
linear tears which means they look like lines and you'll notice that they're on the right side of the head just like
00:02:21
Joel Shermer how do you think these injuries were inflicted I believe that it was due to an object and the object I
00:02:28
believe was a lone IAL object this sounds like a replay this sounds like a replay from juwel shmer deja vu all over
00:02:35
again
