Former New York City chief medical examiner Michael Baden will conduct an independent autopsy on George Floyd following his death after being pinned by a Minneapolis police officer.
Dr. Michael Baden, who previously conducted an independent autopsy of Jeffrey Epstein, will do the examination after the family takes Floyds body back from the state, their lawyer said Friday.
Were going to take custody back of his body, and were bringing in Dr. Michael Baden to perform an independent autopsy, the attorney, Ben Crump, said at a news conference, 1010 WINS reported.
The family does not trust anything coming from the Minneapolis Police Department. How can they? Crump added.

(9,352 posts)1. Excellent! This is what I was hoping for.
In this situation one needs an outside examiner.

I have no confidence in anything that comes out of the Minneapolis ME's office.

(37,748 posts)6. You should let the family know of your petulant disapproval.
Though I'd suggest to anyone doing so to avoid cowering behind peevish implication... it's a poor reflection of a person's character.
