Private Santiago was hospitalized
at 00.12,
1:10:12
and was pronounced dead at 00.37.
1:10:16
Doctor, what is Iactic acidosis?
1:10:20
It arises if the muscles and cells
burn sugar instead of oxygen.
1:10:25
It caused Santiago's Iungs to bleed.
1:10:28
How long does it take, before
the muscles start burning sugar?
1:10:34
- 20 to 30 minutes.
- What made it faster with Santiago?
1:10:40
- Some kind of poison.
- The witness is speculating!
1:10:45
He is an expert medical witness.
It is not speculation.
1:10:49
He is not a criminologist.
The medical facts are inconclusive.
1:10:55
But I'm sure you don't mind
if we admit his opinion now.
1:11:02
Not at all, sir.
1:11:05
- Was Willy Santiago poisoned?
- Absolutely.
1:11:11
But you know that the coroner's
report shows no trace of poison?
1:11:18
There are dozens of toxins
which are virtually undetectable.
1:11:23
The nature of the acidosis
is the compelllng factor here.
1:11:31
Could a person have a condition
that could speed up acidosis?
1:11:41
- Is it possible?
- It's possible.
1:11:45
What might
some of those conditions be?
1:11:49
A coronary disorder
would make it more rapid.
1:11:54
If I had a coronary condition and
someone stuffed a rag in my mouth,
