The jury finds that Brianna Ghee's injuries could not have been prevented

 The jury finds that Brianna Ghee's injuries could not have been prevented


The jury heard testimony about a "sustained and violent attack" that resulted in the 28 stabbings of 16-year-old Brianna Ghee.


On February 11, transgender Brianna was discovered by dog walkers at Culcheth Linear Park in Cheshire.


The two youngsters, who are only known as Boy Y and Girl X, both deny killing anybody.


The knife used, according to Manchester Crown Court, was "consistent" with a 12-cm hunting knife that was discovered in Boy Y's bedroom and still had Brianna's blood on it.

It is said that the girl was engaged in the litigation, which is now in its second week.


Jurors have been informed that Girl X, who identified as a "Satanist" and had an interest in serial murderers, had the supposed "murder plan" to kill Brianna discovered in her bedroom.


The day after Brianna passed away, a post-mortem examination was performed on her corpse, and the findings were presented to the jury by Home Office consultant pathologist Dr. Alison Armor.


Using computer-generated pictures to explain the damage took roughly two hours.


Dr. Armor said that out of the 28 knife wounds, 14 were to the head and neck and 14 were to the arms, chest, and back.


The injuries were consistent with a "sustained and violent attack" with a bladed weapon, the jury was informed.


According to Dr. Armor, one of Brianna's defensive injuries to her right hand and thumb was a wound that entered her bicep and exited her arm just below her shoulder.


Five "significant" injuries were also reported before the jury, including aortic and esophageal damage, punctures to Brianna's left and right lungs, and lacerations.


Six knife incisions on the right side of the neck, one of which had severed the carotid artery and jugular vein entirely.


According to Dr. Armour, this injury alone may have resulted in "catastrophic hemorrhage," which killed the patient.


The weapon damaged Brianna's ribs, vertebrae, and breast bone, according to Dr. Armor's findings, which the court heard indicated was done with "considerable" force while cutting Brianna.


The pathologist was questioned by prosecutor Deanna Heer Casey about pictures of the hunting knife, which was discovered in Boy Y's bedroom and had a 12-cm-long, sharp blade.


Ms. Heer said, "Is he a candidate to cause some or all of these lesions?"


"Yes, it is," Dr. Armor said.

Although there was no concrete evidence to support the use of a different knife, Dr. Armor said that she could not completely rule out the potential that another knife of a comparable size was used to cause the wounds.


She informed the court that the pathology evidence did not allow for the determination of Brianna's position at the time of the stabbing or the sequence in which the wounds were inflicted.
