Thirty stab wounds in her neck was what the forensic pathologist confirmed about the attack on Brenda Powell. Dr. Robert Schott did the autopsy in this case and described for the jury how she died. Jurors saw the crime scene photos, as part of the state's case. When police arrived at the scene where Brenda was stabbed, they say they found Sydney in the driveway with her eyes rolled back and clawing at the asphalt. Her defense claimed she was in a catatonic state not responding to audio stimuli.
According to police officers on the scene, the defendant told them that an intruder had broken in and that her mom was bleeding. But investigators later found out that that claim wasn't exactly true. On the stand was an investigator who worked the gory scene at the Powell family home. He presented the jury with a number of bloody crime scene photos. The State claimed Sydney confronted and cornered her mother in her bedroom and fatally attacked her with an iron skillet and a kitchen knife.
A police detective told jurors in Doctor Jack Kevorkian's trial about the investigation into the deaths of the two people linked to this case; so far, the state had called multiple first responders.
The daughter of Merian Frederick watched the video of her late mother's meeting with Doctor Jack Kevorkian; that tape is in evidence in his trial over two deaths in 1993.
Before she reached out to the defendant to end her suffering from ALS, Frederick communicated with her daughter by typing into a telephone for the deaf because her muscles in her arms and hands had diminished.
Merian Frederick's daughter told the jury about her mother's ALS; Frederick and Dr. Ali Khalili went to Kevorkian for help; the daughter of Merian Frderick told jurors about the day her mother was going to die.
