Rookie cops and attorneys.
I came across this issue when digging on the Bryan Kohberg case which is totally swiss cheese.
The following quotes from Dr. Joseph Baden, renowned forensic pathologist and former medical examiner, and Mark Fuhrman, retired Los Angeles police detective, who both often appear on Fox News, seem very relevant to this discussion. Dr. Baden has always seemed like a credible expert to me, and I didn't have any reason not to believe Mark Furhman, but his statement are suspect. He is overtly agreeing with Cathy Mabbut and telling her to shut her mouth. If I were Cathy Mabbut, I would have gotten the message loud and clear.
"Baden described the system of using coroners in parts of the U.S. as an archaic relic from British colonial rule.
Retired Los Angeles Police Det. Mark Fuhrman agreed with Mabbutt's conclusion.(That toxicology reports were not relevant in the case)
"They were attacked with a knife, and they basically bled to death. Toxicology wouldn't affect that no matter what they ingested," Fuhrman said. "I'd put my money on there being alcohol in all four victims' systems. … What conclusions can you draw from that?"
Fuhrman criticized Mabbutt for sharing details of the autopsy with the victims' families.
"She should stop talking," Fuhrman added. "She has never done an autopsy. She doesn't understand the value of the autopsy information to police. She should not have talked to anybody about the injuries of any of the victims."
