Larry Swearingen

[David1819]

I was rather surprised to hear today that they had executed Larry Swearingen back in August of this year.

As far as I understand, his innocence was proven beyond any doubt.

Something appears to be wrong doesn't it ?

From what I have read couldn't Terri his wife have kept the body in the trailer whilst her husband was incarcerated? https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/swearingen-larry.htm

That’s not going to stop decomposition.

She could have had a freezer; we don't know. At least I haven't got that video meme of yours yet..

"Even when stored at the routine morgue cooler temperature of 40 degrees, bodies will decompose after only a few days to a degree much greater than that seen in these specimens," White and Sisler wrote in a June 20 report. "Any reasonable person can easily compre­hend what would happen to a piece of meat if it were periodically removed from an ordinary kitchen refrigerator, usually kept at 40 degrees, and left outside on the ground in 70 degree weather for three weeks. In decomposing tissue ... nuclei themselves disappear entirely, along with all other details, leaving only ghosted outlines of normal architecture," they continued. "No decompositional changes of this sort are present in the autopsy slides from Melissa Trotter," they wrote. "It isn't possible that ... Trotter was killed and her body left at that location by ... Swearingen, who had been in jail for 23 days when the body was found."

That, they wrote, was certain "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Pustilnik makes the same argument, saying that it is simply impossible that Trotter was dead for as long as the state has claimed. "The way the heart looks microscopically, she was either dead a couple of days or someone left her in the refrigerator for 25 days" at a temperature much lower than the standard 40 degrees, a freezing that somehow left no visible signs on her tissue, "and [if that's the case] you're looking at a monumental conspiracy."

Didn't the prosecution also allege kidnap so maybe Meliissa was kept alive against her will then dumped in the January?

Even still Larry could not have kept her and dumped her. He had already been in Jail for a few weeks.
