So if an independent ME finds death by asphyxia, then what?

Yeah, the county ME isn't necessarily the final word on the matter of COD. It's quite common for one side or the other to retain the services of an expert to give another assessment of the COD. Most often it would be the defense that retains that outside expert, but not completely uncommon for the prosecution to do so instead.

Some people see the DA and County ME and law enforcement etc etc to all be on the same team. That observation is oftentimes justified, but it's not reality. The prosecution could easily take an adverse position to that of the county ME....if necessary.
