The Recorded Call: Mayo Nurse Admits Pre-Judging Murdered Child's Mom | Pt 20

She started the investigation. Three years later, the defense played her own words back to her in front of the jury, and asked her to read them out loud. Amanda Hansen is the Mayo Clinic nurse practitioner who saw Alexavier Pedrin on January 16, 2023, eighteen months before he died. She diagnosed the broken right femur. She contacted Child Protective Services and the police. She is the medical professional whose decision to make those calls set off the investigation that put Josie Dikeman in front of a jury this month. Watch what the defense does in cross. They do not open with what Hansen saw at the visit. They open with Mayo's mission statement. Respect. Integrity. Not letting bias drive medical decisions. They build that frame, and then they hand Hansen the transcript of a recorded phone call she made that day about Josie. Watch the moment she has to read her own words. The State's case begins here, with Hansen's referral. If the defense can put the medical professional who started this investigation inside a confirmation-bias frame, every State witness who came after has to fight that ghost. Hansen is the first chapter of the State's case, and the defense is using Hansen's own contemporaneous words to ask the jury whether the chapter was ever told straight. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 10:55 to 16:00 - Hansen walks the jury through what Alex and Josie told her at the Mayo visit. Two stories. Alex first said he slipped on ice at school the day before. Then his account changed to match Josie's, that his sister had thrown him down the stairs. Watch what Hansen says about Alex's voice going higher and where his eyes kept going. Watch the Sunday-no-school timeline detail that does not line up. 16:00 to 19:48 - Hansen documents two old-appearing scabs on Alex's eyebrow and a fresh bruise on his left flank. The visit ends with two phone calls Hansen makes, one to Child Protective Services and one to the police. Watch what happens to Josie's demeanor when those calls get named in the room. Watch what Hansen testifies the father did when he arrived later. 19:48 to 28:34 - The defense does not open cross with what Hansen saw. They open with Mayo's mission statement. Respect. Integrity. Not letting bias drive medical judgment. Not assuming abuse before confirming facts. Watch the frame the defense is building. Then watch them produce the document that closes the trap. 28:34 to 31:13 - The defense hands Hansen the transcript of a phone call she made later that day to a Mayo orthopedic surgeon. Listen to what she told him on tape about Josie. Listen to her say she wished Josie had been jailed so she could not have had more children. Then listen to what Hansen admits, on the stand, about when she had already made up her mind about what happened to Alex's leg. 31:13 to 38:36 - The neglect-versus-abuse distinction Hansen has to draw. The amended radiology report that walked back the old-fractures concern. The flank bruise Hansen never investigated. The safety questions she never asked Alex or Josie. Hansen's lack of awareness of Josie's traumatic brain injury history. The defense closes by walking Hansen through three things she cannot tell the jury about what caused the broken leg. 38:36 to 40:44 - The State tries to put it back together on redirect. Watch the prior-acts case the prosecution reaches back to, and watch what Hansen agrees would have been more concerning if the birthday-party timeline had been one day longer or if Alex had not been able to walk at the party. 40:44 to 42:37 - Defense recross. Watch what Hansen agrees the femur fracture could initially have been, and which orthopedist she would defer to on the question of how this kind of injury can change shape over hours. --- COMPLETE CASE COVERAGE justiceisaprocess.com CASE BACKGROUND REPORT: https://www.justiceisaprocess.com/wi-...
