In reply to the discussion: AG Holder Ordering Federal Autopsy Be Performed at Request of Michael Brown's Family [View all]justiceischeap

Don't match the state report and the other two match one another, then it'll be pretty easy to tell which one is onerous.
I don't understand where your animosity on this issue is coming from. Michael Baden performed the independent autopsy and as far as I know about his pro reputation, is beyond reproach. If I had to guess (and it would be just that ) Baden found something contrary in the state report to his own findings and probably suggested the Brown family have the Feds do their own autopsy. It seems to me that this is a good thing, not a bad one.
Also, the state exam was conducted on the Sunday after Browns shooting. The justice dept./FBI didn't get involved until the Monday after the shooting.

I don't have much faith in Holder. I would have felt better if the family had hired a top notch
