Body of Evidence

:24:04
But the state's case
is built on fantasy, not fact.

:24:08
And the facts, as they are...
:24:10
are entirely circumstantial.
:24:13
It's not a crime
to be a beautiful woman.

:24:16
It's not a crime to fall in love
with an older man.

:24:19
This case should have never
come to trial.

:24:21
But since it has...
:24:23
I know you'll listen
to the testimony objectively.

:24:27
And when you hear
the evidence objectively...

:24:30
you will acquit Rebecca Carlson
of the charges against her.

:24:35
Dr. McCurdy,
did you find any indication...

:24:38
that Mr. Marsh used cocaine
on a regular basis?

:24:41
No. His nasal membranes
were way too smooth...

:24:44
for even occasional use.
:24:45
Were you able to determine
how he ingested this drug?

:24:52
A bottle of nasal spray
found next to the bed...

:24:55
was filled with a solution
of water and cocaine.

:24:57
The victim had a head cold
at the time of his death.

:25:00
I believe he was drugged
without his knowledge.

:25:02
Objection...
lack of foundation.

:25:04
The witness is speculating.
:25:05
Motion to strike the testimony.
:25:07
So ordered.
:25:08
The jury should disregard
the witness' comment.

:25:12
Was this the spray you found,
Doctor?

:25:17
Yes, that's it.
:25:20
Entered as People's Exhibit "A."
:25:22
Now, Dr. McCurdy,
what would cocaine do...

:25:25
to someone
in Mr. Marsh's condition?

:25:28
It would accelerate
his heartbeat.

:25:30
And if he were having sex...
:25:31
while under the influence
of such a stimulant?

:25:34
It would be the same
as shooting a loaded gun at him.

:25:37
Now, you said
in your autopsy report...

:25:40
that Mr. Marsh was restrained
at the time of his death.

:25:43
Can you explain that, please?
:25:45
From the marks on
his wrists and the bedstead...

:25:48
I believe that the victim
was handcuffed.

:25:50
At the time of his death?
:25:52
Yes. The bruising and friction
was quite extensive.

:25:55
Thank you, Dr. McCurdy.
:25:58
Your witness.
