Sure is. Yeh, and the Tyson-Lewis fight might create a lot more of something wrong going down in Tennessee. But, let's hope not.
Of course it produced the famous father son/Goron team.

Smith said at the time that he had not received any letters himself but was taking the threats "very seriously."
Workman's attorneys had challenged the validity of Smith's ballistics and laboratory tests. Smith said the tests proved Workman's bullet killed Memphis police Lt. Ronald Oliver in 1981.
In one letter, the writer called Smith a liar and said, "Long have I waited for my HOLY ORDER to fight against the DOCTOR-KILLER abortionists but now I know OUR LORD was saving me for something larger."
I posted my theory about this yesterday, but no one seemed to think it had much relation:

Posted by cgk to KissOfTheSith On News/Activism Jun 2 1:14 PM #28 of 62 In some article I read by Jim Garrison -- the real life DA from NO Stone made JFK about -- Garrison asserted that when "the Establishment" wanted to infiltrate and "control" an area, they would make it a priority to get one of "their people" in the position of medical examiner because the position has so much power in a real world way. The position can label deaths accidental/murder, etc. Perhaps there's more to this guy than meets the eye... Here's another story, significant only because the accused murderer's birthday is the day Smith was attacked: Saturday, June 1st.: They are accusing the Shelby County medical examiner of purposefully withholding evidence that could have helped them defend Workman."That X-ray was absent from the record for one reason: the Medical Examiner's Office suppressed it," the attorneys wrote yesterday in the motion to reopen the case. Dr. O.C. Smith, Shelby County medical examiner, did not return a request for comment yesterday. from this Death Row Inmate's Case History page, which I neither support, nor am against... just remember it from Court TV: Interesting coincidence, if that's all it is. I wonder how much more can be found about Smith? Mrs Kus Post Reply | Private Reply | To 11 | View Replies |

Posted by cgk to KissOfTheSith On News/Activism Jun 2 1:24 PM #31 of 62 I forgot this one in the last post: With drama befitting a John Grisham novel, the day before their client's last-chance clemency hearing, Minton and Dorsey uncovered a missing autopsy X-ray taken by the Memphis/Shelby County medical examiner, O.C. Smith. He says that he just forgot about the X-ray's existence, and that it "just got lost" over years of refiling. Monday, 10 out of the 12 jurors went on record saying they would not have recommended the death penalty knowing the new information. from Salon News:Dead Man Talking Mrs Kus Post Reply | Private Reply | To 11 | View Replies |

Could the letter calling Smith a liar possibly be referring to, in his own words, forgetting & losing an x-ray crucial to the case, even the jurors' decision? Just another theory to throw out there. Mrs Kus |
