Would amniotic fluid be the ringer? I don't think so. It might save Scott's life. After all, he is up for double murder. He can't get that if there is some evidence Connor was BORN first and possibly died of natural causes, even if Scott did murder Laci. Or would that still count as a double murder since he did not call medical help for the baby? I don't know. Probably less complicated if there were no amniotic fluid, just something from Laci, proving she was injured at the very least right there in the house. Connor dying as a result of her murder is clearer.

Oh yes he can!

The leaked autopsy report showed that the cervix was intact. (And then subsequently duct-taped shut!) No way this baby was born, not with an intact cervix!

By the way, you're on a roll these days....cracking me up!

No no, there was absolutely NO evidence that Connor was born. Quite the opposite. However that does not preclude some leakage of amniotic fluid if Laci was hit hard enough to rupture her membranes. The autopsy clearly says he was NOT born but released through the top (fundus) of the uterus when it decomposed enough!!
