Experto en biomecánica cuestiona teoría del cortacésped en el juicio Crawford

El experto en biomecánica, el profesor David Ackland, testificó en el Supremo de Queensland que resultaba muy improbable que una cortadora de césped estuviera sobre el cuerpo de Frances Crawford al pie de un muro de contención, lo que cuestiona la versión de accidente presentada por la fiscalía. En etapas anteriores del proceso, el ex piloto de la RAAF Robert Crawford informó a su comandante sobre problemas maritales, y los fiscales alegaron que pudo haber asesinado a su esposa para evitar los costos del divorcio.

Un patólogo forense señaló que las lesiones de Crawford eran consistentes con estrangulamiento, mientras la defensa sostuvo que la muerte fue un accidente con una cortadora de césped. Además, se reveló que Crawford intercambió casi 10 000 mensajes con una agente inmobiliaria durante la ruptura de su matrimonio.
