  • Summary: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (MARCH 8, 1999) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 1. SV DOCTORS AT MEDIA CONFERENCE/MEDIA (2 SHOTS) 0.16 2. MCU (English) DOCTOR MARVIN NELSON JNR, RADIOLOGIST, CHILDRENS' HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES SAYING: "Our position is that this child was murdered, this was not an accidental death. That he sustained multiple injuries over time, that the cause of death was strangulation ultimately, that the window of opportunity for that to occur extended outside the realm of being solely in the care of Louise Woodward, although it doesn't exclude her by any means." 0.46 3. LV/SV MEDIA LISTENING (2 SHOTS) 0.54 4. MCU (English) DOCTOR FLOYD GILLES (PRONOUNCED: GILL ESS), HEAD OF NEUROLOGY AND CHIEF OF NEUROPATHOLOGY, CHILDRENS' HOSPITAL, LOS ANGELES SAYING: "Why didn't the other physicians come to this same conclusion? Well at the time the child was being cared for by a very careful Ely Nueuberger at the Childrens Hospital in Boston, the knowledge of the marks in the neck, the haemmorages in the neck. That knowledge was not known. Subsequently the knowledge about the neck became known when the autopsy was reported. But the problem, as I see it is that someone, and I don't know who did this, interpreted the haemmorages in the sides of the neck outside of the windpipe." 1.55 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES (FILE)(POOL - ACCES ALL) 5.
