Sandra Birchmore's Cause of Death Was Rewritten to WHAT?

The Sandra Birchmore murder trial of former Stoughton police officer Matthew Farwell opened with jury selection on October 6 in Boston, and the paperwork at the center of it has been rewritten. The original 2021 ruling called Sandra's cause of death asphyxia by hanging and the manner suicide. The revised version says asphyxia, manner undetermined. The word homicide has never appeared on it.

Farwell, 40, has pleaded not guilty. His account is that he went to Sandra's Canton apartment on February 1, 2021, told her he was not the father of the child she was carrying, ended the relationship and left her alive.

His lawyers have a forensic pathologist, Dr. Thomas Andrew, former chief medical examiner of New Hampshire, who concluded a suicidal hanging cannot be ruled out. They have Judge Denise Casper's ruling allowing Sandra's mental health history and prior suicidal thoughts in front of the jury, which the government fought and lost. They also have a concession from prosecutors that Farwell's DNA was not found under Sandra's fingernails, and a disclosure that State Police lost the raw data pulled from her laptop in 2024.

Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski on which of those actually moves a juror.
