Maryland to investigate Derek Chauvin defense witness' tenure as state's chief medical examiner

Maryland officials will conduct an investigation into all deaths that happened in police custody that were overseen by the state's former chief medical examiner, who testified as a defense witness in the trial for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, Maryland attorney general and governor's offices announced Friday. Chauvin was convicted last week of murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd,

Dr. David Fowler, who was Maryland's chief medical examiner from 2002 to 2019 and is now a member of a consulting firm, testified that the primary cause of Floyd's death was a sudden heart rhythm disturbance during police restraint due to underlying heart disease.

The retired forensic pathologist also said the fentanyl and methamphetamine in Floyd's system, and possible carbon monoxide poisoning from auto exhaust, were contributing factors in his death. Fowler's testimony contradicted other experts who testified Floyd died due to a lack of oxygen. He also classified Floyd's manner of death as "undetermined," breaking from even Hennepin County’s medical examiner, who ruled it a homicide.

So much for being allowed to defend yourself.

No different to Michigan SOS doxxing the employees of the company that performed an audit on the Dominion machines which showed their “cheat algorithm” automatically classifies a vote as unreadable and then sends it into “arbitration.”

Can you show up as an expert witness for the Defense and, at the last minute, in front of the jury, suddenly say you were threatened and will say nothing more?

They punish witnesses that do not follow the narrative.

This is witness intimidation.

Somebody signed this guy’s job evaluations all those years. If they’re digging into his past death reports, then they need to also investigate the individuals who completed his evaluations, and approved his past job performances.

It used to be in this country, everyone charged was entitled to legal representation. Something many if us took for granted. We are entering a dangerous phase in our decline. I miss Nat Hentoff.

Where is the governor? Did he approve this or is he powerless to stop it?

“We are entering a dangerous phase in our decline.”

Do you think there will be another safe phase in our decline?

“It used to be in this country, everyone charged was entitled to legal representation.”

Even during the Nuremberg trials, the defendants were given lawyers and a chance to defend themselves. Now we are descending into show trials ala Roland Freisler. We are for sure in a dangerous decline.

a letter from Washington, D.C.'s former chief medical examiner Roger Mitchell, and signed by 431 doctors from around the country

Democrats have appear to have a secret office that quickly gathers signatures to take down anyone they want to destroy.

Solely meant to discourage future witnesses from disgreeing with the concensus.
