...Toolsie said he estimated Parks weighed 125 pounds at the time of her death.

Toolsie said blunt force trauma to the head was the cause of Parks death.

“She had been beaten several days before her death,” he said, “but it was the beating on the day of her death that killed her.

It was much worse than the previous one.” The first beating tied into testimony from Thacker who said her sister Susie Grant had assaulted Parks at a local laundromat a few days before her death.

The entire prosecution strategy seemed to revolve around the fact Watson had confessed to killing Parks during an interview with Detective Mike Morgan.

In the confession, Watson said Thacker had told him to give Parks a bath and while he was doing so, he and Parks got into a fight over some things Parks said to him about his mother.

Watson said he slapped her twice and she fell and hit her head.

He said her eyes closed and she stopped moving.

He said he then took her into the bedroom and put some dry clothes on her.

Wiggins said there is a line at the bottom of interrogation forms where it asks the education level of the person being interviewed.

Wiggins asked why it was there.

That was Philadelphia's last game until this weekend, when it was scheduled to face division rivals New Jersey and the New York Islanders.

The Flyers and Rangers will meet in New York on Tuesday.

So Hitchcock took it easy in his club the morning following the Maple Leafs' loss.

Well, at least as far as not making them practice.

Hitchcock wasn't happy with his team and he wasn't shy in getting that message across.

He was still upset Thursday morning when he held a closed-door meeting in his office with a small group of club leaders.

"You always get to hear it when you lose,'' forward Peter Forsberg said.

"I think everybody knows we didn't have a good performance on Tuesday and we have to bounce back right away.

"We deserved to hear it.'' Hitchcock sent his club out for a 38-minute practice on Thursday and let Simon Gagne and Petr Nedved rest with injuries.

Already in playoff mode, Hitchcock would only describe Gagne's injury as upper-body - believed to be his ...
