Is 'professor' who helped with Michael Brown autopsy who he says he is?

(CNN) -- The last thing an attorney might expect to receive at a deposition is a brain, but that's what the man said he was handing over.

A brain. In a bucket.

Sliding the bucket across the table and opening the lid, the man urged the lawyer, Michael Hodges, to take it. Hodges declined. The deposition continued.

This might have gone down as just on odd moment in Kansas legal history were it not for the fact that about a year later the defendant, Shawn Parcells, ended up playing an instrumental role in the case of Michael Brown, who was fatally shot by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer.

1. A made-up professor, a made-up doctor and the diploma is "in the mail".

Seriously.

Here's a tip: You can ask the secretary for a provisional diploma that you can use for example for job-applications, before you get the official thing.

And I'm not entirely sure about the laws in the US, but I think there are very strict laws about how to handle human parts. The security standards are higher for labs that handle human cell-tissue, because of the risk of epidemics.
Just recently a colleague of mine found several (normal!) blood-samples that had been lying in the lab for years. Even after autoclaving them they had to be deposited as a special biological waste.
