Prior testimony in State of Rhode Island versus Kimberly Frye, as quoted by Sprague

Sprague quoted earlier testimony describing 10 to 20 seconds to unconsciousness and two to three additional minutes of continuous pressure afterward. Laposata acknowledged parts of the comparison but did not recall other passages, and she distinguished the earlier case's manual strangulation and body compression from ligature strangulation in this case.

About

Sprague used the earlier testimony to question Laposata's current estimate of five to 10 seconds to unconsciousness, while Laposata distinguished the mechanisms involved in the two cases.
