Update: LaVena Johnson autopsy report is inconclusive


From LaVena's website:


Last night's KMOV-TV story (including video) on the case of Pfc. LaVena Johnson - an account of her body's exhumation and autopsy - provided little progress in the attempt to clarify the cause of her death in Iraq in 2005. The autopsy team, which included St. Louis chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Graham and St. Louis County medical examiner Dr. Mary Case, reported inconclusive findings after a three-hour examination. The process will now move to include the weapon - an M-16 rifle - which may have fatally wounded LaVena. More findings will be posted as they are made available.
The KMOV report was made notable by the inclusion of a comment by Senator Claire McCaskill:
We've gotta find the truth about what happened to this young lady. Her family deserves that at a minimum, and we need to know in terms of keeping the armed services accountable.
McCaskill's comment marks the first time that the freshman senator from Missouri, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has spoken publicly on the LaVena Johnson story.

This is unfortunatley another sad loss, in another sad way.

And this story is not getting media coverage. That is what is sad about this young woman's story.

But, if Britany Spears or some new development with Anna Nicole's baby, we will hear about it until we need a barf bag.
Bill Maher will do a big roast to Larry King, who by the way probably had more Anna Nicole specials than anyone, and well after Bill Maher's, Steve Irwin costume this year, I don't have an ounce of respect for him either.

Ugh! Now the media is plastering the story about how Paris Hilton may get jail time. Who cares about Paris going to jail! The spoil brat should be sent to jail!

And yeah, the media have worn me out and the public about Anna Nicole and her baby and Britney Spears.

So what put Paris away, maybe we will get a rest from hearing about someone who has done nothing worth while or accomplished anything but be a bimbo.

LOL! Well Paris got 45 days in jail. Maybe you can send her a care package. ;-)


I agree you. There are more issues in this country than Paris Hilton going to jail for 45 days.

I already wanted a barf bag for hearing too much about Paris / Britney at least two years ago.

The hotel spoiled brat gets a five-hairball rating. Britney may rate a six.
