Excerpted from a trial transcript and quoted in "The Point of View," published by the Alameda county District Attorney's office...
ATTORNEY: Before you signed the death certificate, had you taken the pulse?
PATHOLOGIST: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you listen to the heart?
PATHOLOGIST: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
PATHOLOGIST: No.
ATTORNEY: So, when you signed the death certificate you weren't sure the man was dead, were you?
PATHOLOGIST: Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk, but I guess it's possible he could be out there practicing law somewhere.
