Chapter 846 Rag Doll(Incest/Taboo):>Ep98
- The coroner recorded a verdict of 'Natural Causes' in mum's death, and just like that her traumatic life and everything my bastard father had done to her was glossed over.
- When we left the courtroom, Shari saw the Forensic Pathologist who'd carried out the post-mortem and given evidence, and collared him to ask him some questions. He seemed quite happy to talk to us now that a verdict had been recorded.
- "Miss Shahida, there's really nothing I can add to the report I gave to the court; your mother had very obviously been subjected to a catalogue of historical injuries stretching back several years, but none of her injuries were of sufficient severity to be provably causative factors in her death. I'm very sorry. While I believe that the cumulative effect of her injuries over the years may have been a major contributory factor in her eventual death, I just don't have any definitive, medically justified evidence that they did; the fact is, any one of a number of things may have caused or aggravated the causes of the cerebral haemorrhage that was ultimately the cause of death, but nothing I found points definitively to any one injury, if I had, I would have testified to that effect."
