News 11's Crystal Jimenez has details on the latest testimony in the trial
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - As the Cardwell Trial continues, a forensic pathologist who reviewed Celine Carreno's autopsy said an accidental death can't be ruled out.
Jared Cardwell faces murder charges in connection with Celine's death. He was the toddler's stepfather.
Dr. Evan Matshes is a pediatric forensic pathologist. Thursday he told the courtroom, when reviewing autopsies, a series of questions must be asked. He said in his line of work, doctors can't immediately determine abuse in a home.
When reviewing Celine's autopsy, he said, he had to ask himself could her subdural hemorrhage have been caused by a short fall on a playground or stairs?
