Steve startling new testimony today in the joe lopez murder trial. Hes accused killing his girlfriends toddler. Kccis kim st. Onge is here with why doctors say lopezs story of what happened just doesnt add up. Kim a surgeon who treated 20 month old ruby alvarez after allegedly falling out of her level fall. He defines that as anywhere between three and five feet. Five feet is about eye level for me. The surgeon says her injuries from that kind of fall are inconceivable. This picture of 20monthold ruby, taken one day before she died, shows only surface level injuries. Doctors also found 12 fractured ribs, a fractured skull and bleeding from her brain. For a toddler, falling from a low height, the likelihood of multiple rib fractures is the same, meaning it doesnt happen whether they land on carpet or concrete. Kim tuesday in court, a radiologist who reviewed rubys xrays called her injuries classic signs of child abuse. There was quite a bit of blood. It is clearly abnormal. And based on my experience, thats more, there was more typically seen. Kim lopezs defense attorney argued these pictures of ruby taken a few days before the november 29 incident prove the scratches and redness on her face are because she had been sick. A neurosurgeon who treated ruby says one of the biggest red flags was her brain injury, often only seen in cases involving a serious car accident. It can be back and forth or it can be the Rotational Forces. The Rotational Forces can be with the brain in this plane going back and forth or it can be twisting, but its not just falling like this.
