There should not even be a QUESTION that such things be allowed. Why IS there? This kind of thing maddens me. The baby is dead. The remains are there because the alleged perp put them there. This is evidence as to how they found the remains. Autopsy photos are also evidence. What is this "inflammatory" sh*t? What is inflammatory is what any perp DID to begin with.Motion filed to allow photos of Evelyn Boswell's remains to be admitted in trialMotion filed to allow photos of Evelyn Boswell's remains to be admitted in trial
The prosecution has filed a motion in the case of Megan Boswell to allow photos of the remains of baby Evelyn Boswell to be admitted in the upcoming trial. Megan Boswell has been charged with murdering her daughter, Evelyn Boswell. The remains of Evelyn were found March 6, 2020. A grand jury...
The prosecution has filed a motion in the case of Megan Boswell to allow photos of the remains of baby Evelyn Boswell to be admitted in the upcoming trial.
"The photographs the State seeks to introduce, to be filed separately and which have been provided to the defense, are relevant to the elements of deliberation and premeditation, and their probative value outweighs the inflammatory nature of the photographs. The photographs are clear and accurate, and testimony alone would be inadequate to relate to the jury the facts illustrated by the photographs."
The next hearing in the case is set for April 7.
The trial has been scheduled for September 26.
I don't know. I think Covid was "used" for one thing and I can't even say if I recall correctly that the defense has delayed it in this case. I think the court just stalled for the most part. After that, the public defender may have asked for some time, I can't recall. But in this one there haven't been any defense games really that I have noticed. And I don't think this young girl who murdered her baby has been anything but cooperative that I am aware aof.
YES!
LOL. Thank you noZ.

So the defense argued/complained that it took TBI months to process a crucial peace of evidence. Clearly then the defense thinks it shouldn't take that long.Mother accused of murdering baby Evelyn Boswell has trial moved to February 2023
The judge granted the defense's motion to postpone the trial so they could hire an expert to analyze fingerprint evidence that took months to obtain results.Mother accused of murdering baby Evelyn Boswell has trial moved to February 2023
Megan Boswell, the mother accused in 2020 of murdering 15-month-old Evelyn Boswell, will face trial next year after appearing in Sullivan County Court Monday.
Judge James Goodwin agreed to postpone the mother's trial after the defense argued the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation took months to process a "crucial" piece of evidence involving a fingerprint. Boswell was originally scheduled to face trial on September 26.
Boswell's attorney asked the judge for more time so the defense could hire an expert to analyze the piece of evidence.
Goodwin granted the defense's motion, setting a new trial date for February 6, 2023 at 8:30 a.m.
"I feel like I don't have a choice but to grant the motion. I mean, I can force you to trial in September, but everybody in this courtroom knows that if I do that and the state gets a conviction, we'll just have to re-try," Goodwin said.
Another motion hearing is scheduled for September 23.

I really figured this one was a loss of control but just for an instant, not a continued thing. Not liking these details!!Forensic pathologist testifies Evelyn Boswell died by asphyxiation
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) – An expert in the field of forensic pathology took the stand in Sullivan County court Friday afternoon and shared new details in the death of toddler Evelyn Bos…Forensic pathologist testifies Evelyn Boswell died by asphyxiation
An expert in the field of forensic pathology took the stand in Sullivan County court Friday afternoon and shared new details in the death of toddler Evelyn Boswell.
Evelyn’s mother, Megan Boswell, has been charged with a string of charges, including two counts of felony murder. At Friday’s hearing, the court heard arguments for certain photographs to be used as evidence after Boswell’s attorney, Brad Sproles, had objected to using some of them.
After hearing testimony from an agent with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan took the stand. Mileusnic-Polchan is the chief medical examiner for Knox and Anderson counties. She also has an active license to practice medicine in Tennessee.
Mileusnic-Polchan said she found that Evelyn’s cause of death was asphyxia in four different places. She also said that it was, in her opinion, a homicide.
In TBI Agent Brian Fraley’s earlier testimony, he said that Megan Boswell had previously said Evelyn died in an accident while co-sleeping with her and her then-boyfriend.
Mileusnic-Polchan refuted that statement, saying Evelyn was too old at the time of her death to have died in such a manner, and the environment was not conducive to that type of death. According to Mileusnic-Polchan, there was a “mechanical obstruction” to Evelyn’s airway in the form of foil, and a blanket had been tightly wrapped around her head.
In addition, Mileusnic-Polcha testified that being in the trash can in which she was found was another form of asphyxiation.
She went on to testify that the photos being discussed as potential evidence give a complete picture of the manner in which Evelyn died, as well as the placement and condition of her body, which had started to decompose.
