Medical examiner tells Fox: Pot in system could have made Michael Brown act ‘crazy’

The medical examiner who carried out a private autopsy on slain Missouri teenager Michael Brown suggested that reefer madness might have been to blame in the unarmed teen’s death.

Dr. Michael Baden conducted the second autopsy on Brown’s body and found that he had sustained six gunshot wounds, two to the head. The first autopsy — conducted by the St. Louis County coroner’s office — reportedly found that Brown had traces of marijuana in his system on the day he was killed.

Talking Points Memo reported that Baden was asked by Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren on Monday, “Does the fact that they found marijuana, does that exclude the fact that there might be other drugs in his system or even that the marijuana was laced with anything? Is that the final analysis or could there be more information to come in terms of the toxicology?”

“Very important with marijuana is the levels of the different drugs that are present in marijuana to have an opinion as to whether or not he might have been affected by the marijuana, so that he may have been acting in a crazy way and may have done things to the police officer that normally he would not have done,” Baden replied.

1. If Baden said this it just proves he is of that generation where he is clueless about the

effects of pot.

Sad., but most people that age are stupid about this subject.

Means nothing, ALL scientific evidence will prove absolutely that under the influence of MJ are you FAR FAR more likely NOT to be violent.

14. Well, he's "80".. but, I still don't see why the hell he should be on fox "news" spouting

off his opinion on this. It's like they're trying Michael Brown in the media before it goes to trial. And, especially since the family's attorneys paid his airfare. It makes no freaking sense.

[elehhhhna]

30. wait, the private autopsy didn't do a drug panel? WTF?

he's relying on the county?

[arcane1]

2. "the different drugs that are present in marijuana"?

[Logical]

3. Maybe crazy CALM. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Maybe he attacked the cop thinking he had a hideout donut.

[SomethingFishy]

5. There is no response to something like this..

Here you have a Doctor that knows what he is saying is an out and out lie.

Well Fox needed a new medical expert.

[840high]

6. I read synthetic pot can do that.

[RandiFan1290]

7. mmhmm

[840high]

13. here u go -

e haggard-looking woman in this mugshot will hope this horribly unflattering photo disappears very quickly.

The picture is of Emmerli Wilcoxson - who stole a cop car and led police on a 130mph chase before screaming into their radio as she crashed the vehicle and caused a pile-up.

The 40-year-old was stopped while high on synthetic marijuana on a street in Atlanta, Georgia, after police claimed she matched the description of a woman reportedly armed in the area.

Not a pretty picture: Emmerli Wilcoxson's haggard and bruised mugshot after she was arrested following high-speed crash on Sunday

16. It would not give a false positive for cannabis

Keep trying

[Eleanors38]

28. But it won't induce oral sex like the Holiest of Holy.

[JEB]

8. Test the killer cop for drugs before one word is uttered about the slain teen.

[babylonsister]

10. Exactly! nt

[Cha]

15. Wilson acted like he was on crack. Just sayin'

[Cha]

9. "Traces"?! "Act Crazy"?! And, wtf is a private ME doin on fox "news"?! Who paid for this

ignorance?

thanks babylonsistah

[SickOfTheOnePct]

11. Apparently

He donated his services to perform the autopsy (I read his normal fee is $10,000). Travel expenses were paid by the family's attorneys.

[Cha]

12. Oh that guy.. Dr Baden.. I had better hopes for him. I wouldn't think the

family would be too happy with him spouting off that on fox "news"! Fucking crazy world.

thanks SickoftheOne%

[LiberalElite]

17. Wikipedia says he's a forensic science contributor to Fox

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Baden

[Cha]

20. Wow.. it gets crazier! Why pay his expenses for the this!? thanks LE

[LiberalElite]

24. He's also on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/Dr.MichaelBaden/info

Board certified, etc. etc.

[MindPilot]

18. I feel safer knowing that this doctor confines his practice to dead people.

He is apparently stuck in 1920.

[Cha]

21. Bought the 1936 Propaganda film.. lock stock and barrel..

[Eleanors38]

25. See? She has her hands up!

[Cha]

27. OMGS.. I didn't even notice!

[Eleanors38]

31. Ah! You need more...

and maybe some

[Cha]

32. OR.. maybe..

[Politicalboi]

37. LOL!

WOW!!!!!! I think you're right.

[badtoworse]

19. Yesterday, posters on DU thought Baden walked on water. What gives?

[Cha]

22. Things Can change on a dime. You can't get stuck in the past even if it was only Yesterday.

[badtoworse]

26. That's pretty damn obvious.

Basded on this thread, once a credible person says anything unfavorabe about MB, they're suddenly not credible.

[Cha]

29. It's pretty damn obvious that he may be good but he's full of shit as far as MJ is

concerned. And, saying it on fox "news" is just feeding the bullshit mountain propaganda machine.

[badtoworse]

33. You're sort of making my point.

The truth stands on its own and it doesn't change depending on who says it or to whom. What difference does it make who he says it to?

From what I can see, there is little interest here in finding the truth because anything that tends to support Wilson is immediately discounted as contrived and anything that supports Brown is glorified. To me, that smacks of a political agenda, not a desire to learn the truth.

[Cha]

34. Wilson killed an unarmed kid. Michael Brown is dead. You want to give Wilson

excuses go ahead.

Dr Baden wasn't speaking to the truth.. he was making wild speculation about MJ to fox fucking "news".

[badtoworse]

35. I'm not making excuses for anyone. I'm commenting on what I see going on...

...and to me, it doesn't seem to be about finding the truth.

[840high]

39. I have full respect for him.

[Eleanors38]

23. Every ME uses the Evil Weed Theory of Everything.

[Politicalboi]

36. Quack Quack Quack

This quack was on OJ's team. He's a known quack. I don't know why the Brown family would have chosen him.

[cliffordu]

40. Yeah. That's it.

Prolly thought the cop was a Krispy Kreme.

[malokvale77]

41. Did they drug test that psycho cop...

or did he just act crazy naturally?

This shit is getting really old.
