{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Farwell's Defense Says Sandra Did THIS to Herself","description":"Farwell's defense is built on one argument: Sandra Birchmore killed herself. They have psychiatric records dating back to age nine, journal entries, a medication with a suicide warning, and a prior attempt. They won the right to put all of it before the jury. Their case rests on Sandra's instability, her manipulation, and her pain—every piece of damage the defense can find.Prosecutors allege that damage has a source. Sandra joined the Stoughton Police Explorers at twelve. By fifteen, Farwell had allegedly crossed the line with her. Three other men connected to the department were involved. She spent a decade under the control of men who tracked her phone, told her to delete messages, swore her to silence, and punished her when she stepped outside the boundaries they set. None of them were ever criminally charged for what they did to her.Farwell's DNA was the major contributor on the strap found around Sandra's neck. A strangulation expert found her hyoid bone fractured—an injury with zero documented cases in women found in a seated position. Before her death, Farwell attended a training where the medical examiner discussed how to identify suicide in hanging cases. Sandra was booking prenatal appointments past the day she died.The defense's strategy asks twelve people to look at everything Sandra endured and decide she did this to herself. The prosecution asks them to look at the same evidence and see what these men did to her. Trial begins October 5 in Boston.\n\nListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
