Was Sandra Birchmore’s Medical Examiner Ever Asked If It Was Murder?
Matthew Farwell’s defense leans on Sandra Birchmore’s 2021 suicide ruling, and on October 26, 2026, the doctor who made it answered both sides at his federal trial in Boston. Defense attorney Kimberly Stevens took her through a 2024 meeting with the FBI, federal prosecutors and State Police, where a forensic expert working with federal investigators shared a different opinion. The defense argues federal pressure changed her ruling to undetermined, and she testified she wasn’t pressured. Stevens also raised Sandra’s search for the color of the suicide ribbon on the day she died. An FBI agent testified earlier that on that same day, Sandra looked up baby names and an EMT training course. The doctor told jurors she works for neither side, and she still won’t call the death a homicide. I walk through both accounts, including what she told prosecutors about whether she was ever asked to consider homicide. Farwell has pleaded not guilty.
