1.Postmortem: How Medical Examiners Explain Suspicious Deaths. by Stefan Timmermans
Next 4 sentences:
"Medical examiners in Massachusetts are state employees, and because this case pitted the Commonwealth of Massachusetts against Louise Woodward, the pathologist testifying for the prosecution could easily have been presented as cronies of the prosecutors. The impression of independant expertise was further complicated by the multiple consultations between district attorneys and medical examiners during the forensic investigation. I watched medical examiners at my research site meet with law enforcement officers and officials from the attorney general's office to discuss preliminary findings and generate a consensus about the evidence. Before consulting with defense attorneys, the medical examiners notified the attorney general's office."
Those were some intense sentences.
6. Not tagging anyone. Do it if you want to.
