Eventually Rao returned to Florida and was appointed Medical Examiner of Duval, Clay and Nassau counties in late 2011, a term, that according to Governor Rick Scott's Office, expired in July 2012.

This is the Medical Examiner who was sprung on the defense today in the Zimmerman trial who said that Zimmerman's injuries were minor and the result of 3 impacts -- until pressed.

The defense was trying to find her to depose her, but was unable to locate her because Angela Corey's office was hiding her. They were even hiding her in the courthouse today until calling her to the stand.

All I know is that she was kind of a bitch on the stand.

Hey—Lay off, already!

This is an extremely insightful and talented woman.

Not many people could render such a thorough and thoughtful diagnosis based only on photographs.

Zimmerman’s attorney made her look stupid. If I were on the jury I would have seen her as a paid hack for a loser of a case.

Q: “So if someone punches you in the side of the head, would it be consistent that your head would likely react in the opposite direction?”

A: “ I guess its possible” ??? WTF?

This is a laughable witness that makes a complete
JOKE of what was once justice and Law in Florida.

This woman is a Dookhan-DevalPatrick disciple
who probably has been FUDGING evidence all her life.

Not only that but she had special photographs direct from the prosecutor’s office that redact anything unpleasant — like swelling and bruising — and that’s what she made her observation with. She kept wanting to refer to her photographs and O’Mara had to keep bringing her back to the court exhibits that showed what was not on her photos.

Meanwhile, the MSM outlets are wetting themselves over her testimony that Zimmerman’s injuries were “insignificant.”

Her testimony was largely irrelevant when you think about it. Yes, Zimmermans injuries were minor. So what? The prosecution still needs to overcome the fact that he believed to be threatened with immediate bodily harm. Was he supposed to wait to shoot until he received major head trauma or a brain injury so he could be a vegetable the rest of his life to prove that belief? The case should have been over when Martin decided to sneak up and hit Zimmerman.

My thinking is that Mark O is bringing in a real Dr to crush her statements in the defense case.

I think she may have come across badly to jury, she certainly came across bad to me.

She seems just a little to invested in the prosecution, she was on defensive, and really sounded not very intelligent

You would think that she was a Noble Prize winning pathologist if you were listening to NBC tonight. Good thing the jury is sequestered.

This prosecutor definitely needs to be Nifonged.

I don’t get the trial, but am wondering if the jury is sent out of the courtroom as much as they were during the OJ trial.

What qualifies this particular doctor to render an opinion on a living person anyway, and don’t even get me started on medical evaluations by photograph! Was Zimmerman evaluated by someone who practices medicine on actual living patients, such as an ER physician or trauma specialist? Her testimony should be disallowed and IMO the Board of Medicine should consider whether she went beyond the scope of her practice.....

Sounds like just the Medical Examiner some politicians would want to keep on tap for those autopsies that need to have certain predetermined results.
