Matthew Farwell trial opens with testimony on Sandra Birchmore's mental health
Original: Matthew Farwell trial testimony begins with focus on Sandra Birchmore's mental health
The murder trial of Matthew Farwell, the former Massachusetts police officer charged in the death of Sandra Birchmore, has begun with early testimony centering on Birchmore's mental health. Prosecutors say Farwell killed the 23-year-old in 2021 and staged it as a suicide; his defense has argued she took her own life, making her psychological state a key early battleground in the case.
Why now: Opening testimony in a high-profile trial over a death initially ruled a suicide has drawn wide attention.
