This question is about the text "Dr. Coppolino's Deadly House Calls"
Answer and Explanation:
1. The possible people involved in Carmela's death are her husband Dr. Carl Coppolino and Dr. Karrow. That's because they probably gave a fake death certificate on Carmela's death. This is because when Dr. Karrow arrived home, Carmela was already dead and did not appear to have had a heart attack (as her husband had stated. On the contrary, it seemed that her death had been caused, but even so Dr. Karrow agreed to sign a state of death stating that Carmela had died of "coronary occlusion".
2. William Farber died of suffocation by the hands of Dr. Carl Coppolino, who used a pillow to kill Faber. he did this because Faber's wife had an affair with him and was unable to give her husband a lethal injection. The injection was given by Carl himself.
3. Because Marjorie Farber told the police how Carl murdered her husband and why he did it. The police then launched an investigation and realized that William Faber's death certificate indicated death from "coronary occlusion," a death that is rarely investigated by the police. After that, the police managed to obtain authorization to carry out the bodies of Camela and William Farber for an autopsy to be done, confirming that both did not die of "coronary occlusion," the police therefore decided to accuse Dr. Coppolinode of murdering his wife and William Farber.
4. Marjorie Farber had an affair with Dr. Carl Coppolino and decided to report it because she was sad when he decided to marry a wealthy socialite. She was portrayed in court as an embittered woman against a respected and professional doctor, which lightened her complaint. Furthermore, no chemical substances were found in William Farber's body, although there were indeed signs of strangulation. In the end Coppolino was not convicted because he was a professional doctor, while Marjorie was a betrayed and sad woman.
5. He proved that Carl Coppolino injected his wife with succinylcholine chloride. This substance is paralyzing and deadly, but its identification in the body is almost impossible, because it is degraded by two substances that happen naturally in the human organism. So Dr. Umberger created a new method to detect this substance. He managed to isolate, in Camelia's body, very high levels of succinic acid, which is a strong indication of the use of succinylcholine chloride
6. The Fryer standard would accept the process applied by the doctor as proof of Umberger's guilt. That's because Dr. Umberger was a toxicology expert and the Fryer standard states that within a trial, an expert's opinion should be accepted as evidence if he can use a scientifically recognized technique to prove the point, like Dr. Umberger did.
7. After presenting the facts discovered by Dr. Umberger, Dr. Coppolino was found guilty of the murder of his wife and was convicted of second-degree murder.
8. We can consider that the case was tried within the Dauber Ruling, as it considered Dr. Umberger's methodology as a proof of Coppolino's guilt. However, the case of the murder of William Farber was also investigated by an expert, but it did not have the same result, probably for sexist reasons.
