Condition of Laci Peterson's Body Disclosed

From Fox News:

A source who has seen the 25-page autopsy report and does not work for either the defense or the prosecution told Fox News that the body of the 8-months-pregnant woman was missing the head and neck, and both arms are cut off at the elbows.

The right leg is severed at the knee; the left foot is missing; the heart, lungs and other internal organs are gone and there is a hole in the upper abdomen above the belly button that may be a knife wound, said the source, who asked not to be identified.

The womb, however, is intact -- suggesting that the nearly full-term baby was not cut out of Laci’s body but was expelled naturally after she was killed.

Hmmm....Who would have seen the autopsy report that is not working for the defense or the prosecution? How about a medical examiner who was consulted by the prosecutior or defense and asked to take on the case but either declined or was not extended an offer after rendering their opinion?

Here's more:

The source said X-rays weren’t included in the autopsy report, which maintains that the limbs showed no sign of having been sawed off. The document indicates that instead, they were probably lost naturally after the still-intact body was dumped into San Francisco Bay.

But Fox News’ source disagrees, believing it’s much more likely that a knife was used to dismember the corpse. “It’s been cut at the joints, much as you would carve a turkey,” the source said.

The source also told Fox that the condition of the body did not point to a ritual slaying, but instead indicates that it was cut up to aid in its disposal.
