“I can tell you absolutely that I find what Parcells does to be abysmal,” Dr. Mary Case told The Daily Caller when asked about Shawn Parcells, a Kansas-based forensic pathologist assistant. He has been accused in the past of fabricating his job title and of conducting autopsies without a license.

What information did Dr. Case reveal in regard to autopsy #1 this week? I must have missed that. One of the many things I do not understand is that only three bullets found in MB's body IIRC. If he was in fact shot 6 times, where did the other bullets go? I did not see any exit wounds from the back for any through and through shots. I would think that there would be trajectory paths from entry to show angles of body when hit.

"Michael Brown was shot in the head and chest multiple times, according to Mary Case, the St. Louis County medical examiner. While Case declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation..."

Not a direct quote from Dr. Case, but still ....

DebinGa thanks for the link. This is the second time I have seen "chest" shoot

Michael Brown was shot in the head and chest multiple times, according to Mary Case, the St. Louis County medical examiner.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...t-from-the-front-had-marijuana-in-his-system/

While Case declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation into Brown’s death, another person familiar with the county’s investigation told The Washington Post that Brown had between six and eight gunshot wounds and was shot from the front.

bbm I don't recall seeing chest shots on the diagram

When asked why he traveled to Ferguson, Maloney said, "They needed my help.

"I've been watching this gone on for weeks. This can't end. I wanted to come here and do my time and show my support," he said.

“He is doing forensic autopsies which may send someone to prison, and he is not a physician much less a forensic pathologist,” she [Dr. Mary Case] told TheDC, adding that forensic pathologists and medical examines throughout the U.S. “are shocked by this man and how bold he is to do what he does."

So he's testified in court as an forensic pathology expert? Incredible. What a job creator for appeal lawyers he is.

But Case claims that Baden was unaware of what she called Parcells’ “baggage.”

“Dr. Baden did not know about Parcells’ baggage or he would not have become associated with him,” Case told TheDC. “His association with Parcells is very unfortunate.”

Never had a doubt the defense set this up. jmo

The one by his right nipple.

I thought that one was an exit wound, could be wrong.

 

[DebinGA]

If we're confessing our sins, I'll admit to using "miscreants" as a shorthand reference to "the two youths walking in the middle of a public road at noon and ignoring Officer Wilson's instruction to remove themselves from the road and onto the nearby sidewalk." My bad.

miscreant: a person who behaves badly or in a way that breaks the law.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but would just like to point out that the photo of the guy with the tear gas canister is often reported as throwing it back at the police, but the guy says on his twitter that he was just throwing it away from the children near him.

That is what Dr Baden believes it may be. Dr Case may have a different opinion on the shots. jmo

Did the cop that shot Dill* Taylor (unarmed young man) get arrested? He was killed by LE.
And why does the media ignore Dillon Tayl*r's case?

Google his name if you want more info, please.

I don't think that is correct. I remember watching the live feeds. jmo

What's the approp time for releasing body cam footage?

Right....the officer in question of the Dill*n Taylor killing was wearing a body camera....I just watched the video.

And for the sake of social balance, the races are reversed.

The officer has not been arrested.
