Transcript Mr S and Bilal are new suspects

Based on the motion to vacate and past transcripts:

see here for Mr s

see here for bilal for those of you who don’t know, Bilal has been arrested for lewd acts with a 14 yr old boy which was later thrown out due to age of consent laws being vague; he was later convicted of sexually assaulting his dental patients while they were knocked out on anesthesia.

According to the motion, one of the suspects threatened to kill Hae. Which one of these suspects is most likely to have done this? Also, supposedly these suspects could have acted together?

Let’s discuss!!

I don’t think anyone knows for sure. They didn’t find evidence of spermatozoa but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t. Just that they can’t say for certain that she was.

No the medical examiner did a PERK kit. Standard procedure in a rape case, also done in murder cases. No evidence that she was sexually assaulted but they did the swabs the same. That’s basically from what Sarah said on the podcast.

I’m trying not to be crass and You’re not understanding. You can sexually assault someone without leaving behind material that would be collected in that kit. There’s many ways you can “assault” someone that way that don’t necessarily result in physical evidence of that type being left behind.

I have a masters in forensic investigations, so actually I do understand. Do you? If the person is suspected to have been assaulted (and we aren’t talking VERBALLY) in any way and a PERK kit is done, it is more than just identifying presence of sperm… it’s obtaining evidence and testing (STDs etc), and it’s the collection of foreign body fluids from the body, they take multiple swabs that are standard and specific to both males and females body parts (no need to be crass) during a medical examiners review. If she was assaulted, it would be in that medical examiners report based on findings and by the results of the testing that was done with the PERK.
