      wdym, she stabbed herself to death

      20 times, 10 of them in the back of the neck

      In the bathroom, where the door was apparently locked from the inside and broken down from the outside

      When her boyfriend was the only other person around

        It was the whole apartment that was locked, but same idea. She'd put a security bar on the door, which is a normal thing to do when your boyfriend goes downstairs for a bit.

        She also had bruises all over her body, from days before the definitely not murder ha ha ha ha.

          I was just taking the bathroom being locked from the article summary

          She'd put a security bar on the door

          Makes it even worse, jesus

          You could try to argue suicide, but if you're going to plan it, I don't think it would involve non fatally stabbing yourself this much, and if it was impulsive...why do you have a door bar?

        Surprised that her boyfriend wasn't a cop and part of the 40%.

        He was a part of the 1%. Different class enemy, same story.

        Yes, but the family kept pressing him and he never bothered reviewing it and offloaded it when sketchier findings surfaced.

    In reversing its homicide ruling, the Medical Examiner’s Office relied heavily on what it said were the findings of an outside neuropathologist, Lucy Rorke-Adams, who allegedly determined Greenberg’s spinal cord wasn’t damaged by the wounds to the back of her neck, which would have allowed her to inflict the subsequent wounds on herself, including the final plunge to her chest.

    But nobody has ever been able to produce that neuropathology report, or an invoice for it, and Rorke-Adams previously told The Inquirer that she had no recollection of the case.

      Ahh now it makes sense. Someone stabbed her in the back but didn't do significant damage, then she independently decided to stab herself in the chest.

    are there legit suicides where people stab themselves in ways resembling homicide?
