Evidence and its limits
A hospital statement, its recording and admissibility require separate review. The medical examiner and scene records are needed to establish injury mechanism and timing. Protect surviving children's identities and avoid reproducing their reported statements unnecessarily.

Questions the records must answer
What remains unverified about the alleged statement?
Its exact wording, context, recording and admissibility have not been established from original records in this file.
Further investigation: What exactly did Lopez say, and is the statement admissible? What caused the victim's death? What did the children see or hear? Were there prior police, court, or child-welfare contacts? What do scene, vehicle, phone, medical, and timeline evidence establish?
