The saga of Shawn Parcells, the uncredited forensics ‘expert’ in the Michael Brown case

Over the holiday weekend, CNN aired a pretty hard-hitting investigation of Shawn Parcells, the man who has become something of a cable news celebrity after assisting in an autopsy on Michael Brown.

Parcells became an overnight media star in August when he assisted in an autopsy commissioned by Brown’s family. He appeared time and again on major media outlets as a forensic pathology expert. He said over the years he’s testified in court dozens of times in several states.

But an investigation by CNN that included interviews with attorneys, law enforcement and physicians suggests Parcells isn’t the expert he seems to be . . .

This was on FR as it was happening. Months later, now that it doesn't matter, the MSM does 'investigative reporting'...

All CNN needed to do months ago was a simple google search. There are stories about this guy dating back to 2011. Not real curious when the guy fits your agenda I guess.

FR was reporting this. The MSM wasn’t interested.

Do you by chance have the original thread - was it (maybe) a live conversation, I hope?

Every left wing cause has its corresponding coterie of attached phony “experts” that have no real credentials but look good on camera and lie without remorse to promote the narrative.

Daily Mail has it now as well:

This guy was put on several networks as well.

Michael Brown is dead, but the legend lives on. The race mongers and agitators will beat this horse to the bone.

Those are a couple of threads - one from May, 2013.

There may have been live threads at the time or comments about the guy. He appeared on CNN with his ‘hands up’ comments and taken as being an expert.

As long as he’s telling the lie liberals want to hear, doesn’t matter. As Rush said this week, facts are irrelevant. Not about facts. Mike Brown is now a symbol of the oppressed communities of color.

It’s one thing to perform an autopsy and quite another to interpret the results of an autopsy.

Until the next plane disappears, or another riot starts, or people die in a natural disaster, CNN & Company have gotta keep this story alive.

Whatever it takes.

Thanks for those. I thought there might have been some under a different name with longer threads, but that will do. I am continuing my personal crusade to discredit the media and will use these to show that folks at home were ahead of the information curve, just as we were on the Dan Rather phony document exposé.
