Pediatric Nurse Says Mom Refused The Boy Pain Medication For Broken Leg | Pt 21

The State came for the moment. The defense came with the prep sheet Ford had read before the family arrived. By the time she left the stand, the State had stipulated their own evidence away. Kim Ford is the Gunderson pediatric night-shift nurse who was on duty when Alexavier Pedrin arrived from Mayo on January 16, 2023. She had already been told the broken leg was concerning for non-accidental trauma. Child Protective Services had already been called. Ford was the medical professional documenting Alex and Josie's first hours at the hospital where Alex would stay before going home, and where the State now says the picture of his injuries first came clear. On direct, the State gets the moment they came for. Ford tells the jury that Josie said no when Ford wanted to give Alex pain medication for his broken leg. The cross is where the night turns. Watch what the defense establishes about what Ford was told before the family ever walked through the door. Watch what the prosecution stands up and stipulates away in the middle of the cross-examination. Ford is the second medical witness in the State's broken-leg pivot. If the defense can put the bruise interpretations and the demeanor reading inside a confirmation-bias frame, and the State has to formally walk back the radiology report that started the abuse concern, the entire pivot is wobbling on its second cross-witness check. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 01:23 to 03:13 - Ford takes the stand. She tells the jury what she was told before the family ever arrived. The femur fracture concerning for non-accidental trauma. CPS already involved. Watch what was on Ford's radar before she met Josie. 03:13 to 05:56 - The conflicting stories Ford documents. Alex first says he slipped on ice at school. The day before was Sunday. Watch what Josie then tells the room about the sister and the stairs. Watch where Alex's eyes go when the doctor asks if his sister was present. 05:56 to 08:26 - Ford on Josie's demeanor. The yellow legal pad. The request for Ford's last name. Then the moment Ford tells the jury Josie said no when she wanted to give Alex pain medication for his broken leg. 08:26 to 13:13 - The defense opens cross. Ford agrees she was prepared for an abuse case before she ever met Josie. The bruise-dating science she has never studied. Watch the defense reframe Josie's legal pad as a reasonable cognitive coping mechanism for someone with traumatic brain injuries the medical team did not know about. 13:13 to 18:39 - The mid-cross moment that changes the case. Watch what the State stands up and stipulates while Ford is still on the stand. The radiology report's old-fractures concern, walked back. The stipulation applies to every witness for the rest of the trial. 18:39 to 21:31 - The defense names two pediatric orthopedic surgeons in five minutes. One at Mayo. One at Gunderson. Watch which conclusions Ford did not know they had reached. The cross closes with the never-asked-about-safety thread and a question the defense was not allowed to ask but planted in the air anyway. --- COMPLETE CASE COVERAGE justiceisaprocess.com SUBSCRIBE for daily trial coverage and hit the notification bell so you never miss testimony.
