Dr Wecht questions publicly why the Boulder coroner did not arrive until 8PM that night.

Dr Wecht states he believes JonBenét was hit last due to the brain swelling that he says is evident in the autopsy report. He explains that it takes time for brain swelling to occur, and that the head blow would have killed her within minutes. He believes she was dying when she was hit, and that the head blow was to make it appear as an "intruder" had killed her. In addition, he states this to be a "sex game gone awry."
