Work of former medical examiner to be reviewed after he testified for defense in Chauvin trial
Chicago Tribune ^ | April 23, 2021 | Phillip Jackson and Justin Fenton

The Maryland’s Attorney General’s Office said Friday it believes there should be a review of “in custody” death reports produced by the state’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner during the tenure of Dr. David Fowler, nine days after Fowler testified that an ex-Minneapolis police officer was not responsible for the death of George Floyd in police custody.

The announcement came less than 24 hours after the attorney general’s office received a letter from the former medical examiner of Washington, D.C., Roger A. Mitchell, signed by 431 doctors from around the country, saying Fowler’s testimony and conclusions were so far outside the bounds of accepted forensic practice that all his previous work could come into question.

“Dr. Fowler’s stated opinion that George Floyd’s death during active police restraint should be certified with an ‘undetermined’ manner is outside the standard practice and conventions for investigating and certification of in-custody deaths. This stated opinion raises significant concerns for his previous practice and management,” the letter said.

Attorney General Brian Frosh’s office said Friday afternoon that it agreed for the need to review Fowler’s work, and said it had been in contact with Gov. Larry Hogan’s staff.

“We agree that it is appropriate for independent experts to review reports issued by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) regarding deaths in custody,” Raquel Coombs, a spokeswoman for Frosh, said in an statement to The Baltimore Sun. “We are already in conversations with the Governor’s Office about the need for such a review, and have offered to coordinate it.”

We need our own homeland.

We already have one. The anti-American Marxists need to go somewhere else. Another country or a different plane of existence, makes no difference to me.

Sounds like NaziCommie retribution to me.

The accused have NO right to a defense...

Keep this in mind whenever a pro-Vaccine Freeper tells you that we can trust the doctors telling us that the Vaccines are safe.

It was a Yale ‘psychiatrist’.

I can assure you that pretty much every medical venue (Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, UCLA, etc.) that is propped up as a ‘super’ expert program is absolutely not. Guaranteed.

There’s not enough time in the day to be 1) a good physician (who looks at all the data and supplements all of their assessments with physiological, chemical, physical, molecular, and immunological science and correlates this with the specifics of individual patients) AND 2) a self-promoting politically adept academic MD who keeps their back protected and sucks up to the right people. It’s nearly impossible.

So, most docs who chase titles and fame are not the people you want to take care of you. That is a very, very important self-preserving rule of thumb you should consider each and every time you choose a physician.
