rich 1.0 Matthew Farwell's federal murder trial begins October 5 in Boston, and the defense is preparing to put Sandra Birchmore's life on trial. Their argument: she was unstable, manipulative, a liar, and she killed herself. The prosecution's answer: every one of those traits was created by the men who exploited her since she was twelve years old.Sandra joined the Stoughton Police Explorers as a kid looking for positive male role models. Prosecutors allege Farwell began a relationship with her when she was fifteen and he was a twenty-seven-year-old officer. Three other men connected to the department were also involved. None faced criminal charges. The only arrest came three years after Sandra was found dead with a duffel bag strap tied around her neck in her Canton apartment.Farwell's DNA was the major contributor on that strap. A fracture in Sandra's hyoid bone had zero documented parallels in women found seated. She had abrasions on her nose, hemorrhage in a neck muscle, and a broken necklace on the floor. The scene was declared a suicide before the autopsy. A state trooper extracted Farwell's phone and found zero messages between him and Sandra. The FBI later recovered 32,709 of them.Sandra planned to announce her pregnancy on Valentine's Day. Farwell attended a training where the medical examiner discussed how to identify suicide in hanging deaths. The defense will show the jury Sandra's pain. The prosecution will show them who caused it.
