Peoples Exhibit 3

The 100 miligram Propofol bottle found at the scene was entered into evidence by the prosecution and marked as peoples exhibit 3. A tab that read "lift here" which was a hanging mechanism that is present on every propofol bottle had not been pulled, was not deployed, and only was deployed in the courtroom when David Walgren pulled the tab and used it during Dr. Steven Shafer's demonstration. The defense argued that the bottle was never hung at the scene.

Defense's Argument
The defense argued that someone must have taken a used IV bag, cut it open, and put the propofol bottle inside it, and use that as a suspension device, instead of just pulling the unused haning tab on the bottle. Paul White said it was "befuddling to me" why a person would do that instead of pulling the tab on the bottle and just hanging, which is the normal way of doing it. White further said "I had never envisioned such a thing" and said he couldn't "conceive" of somone going to all the hassle to that and "it really wouldn't work." White also dais he had never heard of anyone using that method until it was done in court during the trial by the prosecution.
