Juju Chang

What exactly did you find when you began to do the autopsy?

The injuries that I've already described were confirmed.

There was also evidence of strangulation.

She had significant hemorrhages in the muscles on both sides of her neck.

She had bruises about her face.

She had an abrasion on her chin, indicating that she may have had her chin down, trying to protect her airway.

It was extremely violent.

What do you think really happened that day?

I believe she put up a good fight, was significantly traumatized with blunt force injuries, and then the ultimate assault was strangulation.

That was just horrific, awful.

It's just hard to believe.

Arguing and fighting with somebody is one thing, and for it to turn physical is another.

To take away your children's mother, to continue to torture her, essentially, I mean, you watch that person struggle and fight.

It's particularly depraved.

Now we think the investigation's in the bag.

He's going to go to prison for the homicide.

On Monday, Chadwick pleaded not guilty to murder charges.

Because he had no criminal history and because of having the three children who could be believed to be a tie to him to stay local, he was allowed to post bail, which in the California system was set at a million dollars.

So there he is in Santa Barbara staying with his dad.

He has a relationship with his kids, and for two years he shows up for hearings.
