The paid autopsy is BS.
The video and independent pulse check were staged, too.

So much for “we have to wait for the autopsy”. Nice goal post moving there.

A reasonable doubt at a price that's right. Dueling scientists creating reasonable doubt works better for the defense than the prosecution.
“I’m basically saying, [the medical examiner’s office] did a good autopsy, and I agree that there was compression in the neck — and I think that was the cause of death,” said Dr. Michael Baden, who was once New York City’s chief medical examiner and often reviews high-profile deaths, including that of Ferguson, Missouri, teen Michael Brown.Dr. Baden spoke briefly with the press on a sidewalk outside the medical examiner’s office after spending about an hour reviewing materials from the city’s autopsy — which determined the Mr. Garner’s death was a homicide due to “compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.”
The prosecution failed to get an indictment from the grand jury.

The autopsy did not reveal signs of a struggle, Dr. Baden said, which casts doubt on an earlier statement by police that a struggle between Brown and Wilson precipitated Brown's shooting. Police have said Brown forced his way inside Wilson's cruiser, where Wilson shot at Brown for the first time.Dr. Baden said he found no gunpowder residue on Brown's skin, which could mean that the muzzle of Wilson's gun was "at least one or two feet away" from Brown when he was shot. However, Dr. Baden was adamant that he would need to examine Brown's clothing for gunpowder residue to make a conclusive finding.
Brown's clothing was not available for Dr. Baden and Prof. Parcells to examine, Baden said, though it was almost certainly examined during Brown's first autopsy performed by the St. Louis County Medical Examiner. If no gunpowder residue was found on Brown's clothing during the first autopsy, it will likely throw the Ferguson PD's timeline of events into question.
Prof. Parcells said a wound on Brown's right arm was "consistent with a witness statement" that Brown was first shot while facing away from Wilson, but he stressed that he and Dr. Baden could not determine conclusively the trajectories of the bullets that hit Brown—or which direction he was moving—when he was shot. The wounds "could be consistent with going forward or going backward," Dr. Baden said.
An attorney for Brown's family said at least some of the shots traced a "back-to-front" trajectory, indicating that Brown was shot from behind.
The prosecution failed to gain a conviction.
Throughout his decades as an unsung public servant, unzipping body bags and working the bone saw, he consistently found the limelight. At first it was still within the confines of government. He chaired the federal committee that re-investigated the deaths of President Kennedy (Baden said it was Oswald) and Martin Luther King, Jr. (Baden said it was James Earl Ray).
