Dr. Malik's assistant also pointed this out to Dr. Malik, but Dr. Malik had told him to, quote, not worry about it.

Now, before I dive into this next piece of information, it is a little confusing because there are two different reports depending on the sources you look at.

The other timeline states that this change from accidental to undetermined happened February 26, 1988, and that this case went before a grand jury in April 1988, and then in June, it officially went to probable homicides.
