Spoken like a trial lawyer. He was a top rate Forensic Pathologist until he started reading his press clippings.

I'm in no position to challenge his medical expertise because I've never been to medical school and my statement doesn't constitute such a challenge.But any forensic pathologist who testifies for a defendant is,IMO,a whore.Same goes for the likes of Dr Henry Lee.

I don’t trust Dr, Baden or Dr. Lee. They like to be on television way too much.

So, defandants should not get the benefit of forensic pathologists testifying on their behalf, notwithstanding the over 200 people who have been exonerated by DNA?

I hope you never sit on a jury.

“Alan Colmes asked forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden if the Duke rape case didn’t raise issues of prosecutorial misconduct.

Baden thought it did, especially with regard to those who have been exonerated by the Innocence Project. “(The Duke rape case) allows us to talk about the general issue of prosecutorial withholding of evidence and misconduct, especially when it comes to the almost 200 people that have gotten out of jail who are innocent. Most of those cases, the prosecutors didn’t do their job correctly.” Baden referenced a case from that day’s New York Times where a defendant had been exonerated through DNA yet “the prosecutor still won’t let him out.” Baden said”

A family whose loved one was murdered by his wife was able to secure justice because they contacted him and he conducted his own examination of the details of the case.

Otherwise, it was going under ‘natural causes’ and the murderer would have walked (and did ‘walk’ for YEARS.)

I can’t hate the guy when he does stuff like that.

"But any forensic pathologist who testifies for a defendant is,IMO,a whore."

I agree. You can get anyone to say what you want them to, for the right amount of money.

[A Strict Constructionist]

I have to disagree as both sides have the right to present their case. Forensic means “for the court” and a forensic expert is supposed to interpret scientific evidence based on his expertise and current scientific knowledge and should not be influenced by money. I know this doesn’t always happen but the side an expert is working for doesn’t define a whore, their testimony does. They usually are equal opportunity whores. Innocent until proven guilty?
