An autopsy should be performed by an objective, outside panel. Someone who has experience in strangulation and abuse should be part of the forensic panel.

Nope. Felos picked the guy. I'll post it again:

Dr. Jon Thogmartin, the medical examiner chosen by Felos/Schiavo to perform the autopsy, was appointed to his current position by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2000 for a three year term and reappointed in 2003. He reports to the Pinellas County Board of Commissioners, the same commission of which Greer was a commissioner prior to assuming judicial office.

I think there will be great pressure to appoint an autopsy panel of top forensic experts.
