If I were the attorney organizing a defense strategy and equipped with resources for competent investigators and familiarity with Dallas
and NOLA, I would hope to learn things along these lines, leaning more than I would prefer on building reasonable doubt, it is this man's life hanging in the balance and all of us have an elevated duty to get this right, blah...
Chief Curry, does your department maintain a set policy on removing dead victims from obviously uncleared crime scenes, and
training techniques to confirm presence of vital signs of a suspected fatality, by your responding officers? Is policy communicated to
emergency response ambulance attendants? Is your policy written or oral and well distributed in the workplaces?
Captain Fritz, same as above, and can you or Chief Curry confirm you have the same crime scene security rules for murdered civilians as
well as for your officersl if not, how do the policies differ?
The two ambulance attendants who removed the body to hospital of officer Tippit from the scene of his shooting death were not called to
testify before the WC assistant counsels. I would have asked both to describe any training received from employer, police, or medical training
with regard to evaluating vital signs of unresponsive victims after arriving at an obviouse major crime scene. Had either received instruction not to remove a victim determined to be unable to fog a mirror, or to move the victim, except with authorization of the officer in charge?
I would have asked if either checked for or observed officer Tippit exhibiting any vital signs, and if not, did either consider waiting for police to
arrive before moving Tippit.
Mary Bledsoe, please describe your uncle Jewel R Germany's relationship with police character RD Matthew's aunt Adelaide who was
married to your uncle? Is it not a fact your Uncle Jewell's son, Jake is your first cousin as well as RD Matthew's first cousin? Are you personally
acquainted with RD Matthews, when you first met him, if you have? What was the history of your relationship after introductions? Has Matthews or anyone you know to be in contact with him attempted to engage you in discussion of your intention to testify here today, or at
anytime about this case.
