About this episode

This episode discusses expert witness testimonies in the case against Simon Levy, including details about strangulation and the death of Carmenza Valencia Trujillo.

In this episode Caroline and Nick have the evidence of several expert witnesses in the case. One told the jury that victims of strangulation do not always have bruises on their neck, and another said he could not confirm the exact reason Carmenza Valencia Trujillo died. He said he could not rule out that she had been strangled but he also couldn’t be sure her death was not drug related. We also answer your questions about why can say that Simon Levy has previous convictions for sexual assault.
