HKS Attorney certainly tried to say that wasn’t true last night on Nancy Grace. Diane Diamond had the producers check and it turned out Diane Diamond was wrong. His attorney didn’t say a word when she told him that she was right and he was wrong and did he want to say anything to vindicate his client.
She has some very interesting things to say about Cyril Wecht today. I didn't realize -- or didn't remember in 1979 he basically deposited $400,000 of county autopsy fees into his own account and they had to file suit against him and only recovered 50%.
In 1996 when he wanted to once again be coroner he ran for election. Some questions on how honest that election was, but when they tried to get rid of him in 2002 he used 56 county employees to cirtulate petitions on his behalf, 53 of the people worked directly for him and broke all rules of ethics on employees participating in political activity.
Just last year (2006) Wecht was indicted by a grand jury for 84 acts of corruption and currently depents on people like HKS for a living.
What he did for the indictment was use a local university to run a private autopsy service by trading bodies of people with no next of kin to the university in exchange for that space.
She also discusses Perper today and cries out for Fuhrman and Baden to cooraborate in solving this case.
