Sandra Birchmore Blamed for What at Farwell Trial

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

Matthew Farwell's federal murder trial begins October 5 in Boston, and the defense is preparing to put Sandra Birchmore's life on trial. Their argument: she was unstable, manipulative, a liar, and she killed herself. The prosecution's answer: every one of those traits was created by the men who exploited her since she was twelve years old.Sandra joined the Stoughton Police Explorers as a kid looking for positive male role models. Prosecutors allege Farwell began a relationship with her when she was fifteen and he was a twenty-seven-year-old officer. Three other men connected to the department were also involved. None faced criminal charges. The only arrest came three years after Sandra was found dead with a duffel bag strap tied around her neck in her Canton apartment.Farwell's DNA was the major contributor on that strap. A fracture in Sandra's hyoid bone had zero documented parallels in women found seated. She had abrasions on her nose, hemorrhage in a neck muscle, and a broken necklace on the floor. The scene was declared a suicide before the autopsy. A state trooper extracted Farwell's phone and found zero messages between him and Sandra. The FBI later recovered 32,709 of them.Sandra planned to announce her pregnancy on Valentine's Day. Farwell attended a training where the medical examiner discussed how to identify suicide in hanging deaths. The defense will show the jury Sandra's pain. The prosecution will show them who caused it.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
