Taboo Photos Murder Trial
S1, EP24 "Following The Deadly Clues"
In her murder trial, Jade Janks's lead attorney had questions for the detective who conducted interviews during the murder investigation of Tom Merriman. Detective Scott Stallman interviewed one of the guys Janks allegedly recruited to help her kill her stepfather. Next, the lead detective, Matthew Gibson, testified to his work in this case. This would be the state's final witness to jurors in their case-in-chief.
S1, EP21 "No Proof Of Suffocation"
Under cross-examination Dr. Greg Pizarro answered questions about exactly how Tom Merriman died - a drug overdose but by homicide. However, this deputy medical examiner concluded that there is no proof of strangulation nor suffocation. A pivotal question that would most likely be raised with these jurors would be how exactly did Merriman lose his life? The cause of his death was a drug overdose but the state alleged he was suffocated by a plastic bag and strangled with a rope.
S1, EP22 "The Toxicology Report"
The State's toxicologist took the stand. Ray Gary explained in more detail the medication Tom Merriman was on at the time of his death and whether they contributed to his demise. Gary performed the toxicology exam on the victim. He told jurors that high levels of a sleeping drug was found in Merriman's system when he died. It was central for Jade Janks' legal team to challenge the autopsy and toxicology reports in this case. Her defense team argued that she did not kill her stepdad.
S1, EP23 "Detectives At Work"
