Martin Anderson update...

A new autopsy on the death of 14-year-old Martin Anderson at a north Florida boot camp offers the state Medical Examiners Commission a chance to do something to help the reputation of its profession.

Clearly Dr. Charles Siebert, the Bay County medical examiner, did his colleagues no favors when he issued an assessment that concluded the youth had died of complications of the sickle cell trait, a blood disorder common among African-Americans.

Someone needs to be held accountable for this boys death. Has anyone even been fired or arrested for this!

>> BOTTOM LINE: A dubious autopsy leaves it to the Florida Medical Examiners Commission to salvage a profession's reputation.

That's not much of a "bottom line" when one M.E. rules that Martin died of natural causes and that the beating he took had nothing to do with it. For my two cents, that doc put his reputation on the line to cover up the circumstances of Martin's death, and he lost. The other M.E. ruled ruled that it was suffocation from upper respiratory blockage due to ammonia inhalation. Now, that could not be missed by a real autopsy.

Natural causes vs. a highly unnatural death for a teen. One of the docs used an official autopsy report to shield a crime by law enforcement officials. There's your true bottom line.
