Pathologist: Child Could NOT Have Opened Pill Bottle Before Death

On Monday, Dr. Read Quinton, the forensic pathologist who conducted the autopsy on 6-year-old Alexavier Pedrin, testified about his findings. Alexavier died at age 6, and his father’s girlfriend, Josie Dikeman, is on trial in connection with his death. Dr. Quinton described multiple bruises and broken bones, noting that Alexavier’s ribs were visible and his eyes appeared sunken—signs consistent with dehydration. He also testified that melatonin and Xanax were present in the child’s system at the time of his death. He ruled Alex’s death a homicide.
