When does media reporting become actual collusion with selling propaganda ?  Perhaps the story of Mike Brown’s autopsy will provide food for thought.

We suspected from the outset the Parks and Crump version of the Mike Brown autopsy was likely just a propaganda ploy to sell their narrative.   We knew New York Times reporter Frances Robles was sympathetic to their scheme because she was similarly predisposed in 2012 with the Trayvon Martin narrative.
In 2012 Robles worked for the Miami Herald.  Indeed, based on history, we expected to see blurred lines of journalistic ethics.

What we didn’t expect with the Mike Brown story was the New York Times, and Robles, to eliminate the ethical lines completely.

As you can see above, Frances Robles arrived in Ferguson Missouri the morning of the autopsy Aug 17th.  Perhaps she and forensic pathologist Dr. Baden flew in together.  After all, they departed the same city, from the same airport, on the same date, with the same destination in mind.
More interesting though is something within the New York Times article as printed.  You’ll notice a picture of Dr. Baden and Shawn Parcells.   (screen shot below).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The picture was taken by New York Times Photographer Eric Thayer.

We can tell the photo was taken inside the Austin Lane mortuary because the funeral home lobby has very distinct characteristics:  3-sided foyer, with red carpet, gold piston-hinged doors, ceiling-to-floor white drapes, etc.
That picture taken by New York Times photographer Eric Thayer is definitely inside the Austin A Lane funeral home and mortuary.   Here’s what the funeral home entrance looks like from the outside.

That means the New York Times was with Shawn Parcells and Dr. Baden during the events of the second autopsy itself on Sunday August 17th.
The New York Times was present during the autopsy.
Knowing the NYT and Brown Family Team were together reconciles another question we held.   How did the Times publish an article so quickly?
.

The “exclusive access” page A-1 print article hit the NYT on-line section around 8:00pm.
Perhaps now people will be able to recognize how these events are carefully scripted and packaged by the Scheme Team of Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump, then sold by their media cohorts like Frances Robles.
It’s not really “news” when the reporters are embedded with the team constructing the news.
The lines of collusion are obvious.    Hence the scheme team term “Media Evidence”.
So the New York Times was blatantly supporting the Brown Family narrative – this autopsy was not a leak or Brown Family press release.   This was a collaborate effort.
And now you can begin to see why the Robles script writing was so troubling; and why it avoided some of the key problems within the structure of the autopsy itself.   Problems like an uncertified, untrained, and unqualified person such as Shawn Parcells conducting the autopsy prior to Baden’s arrival.
Do I have your attention now ?   Read on…..
Parks and Crump
On Friday August 15th, in response to the Ferguson Police releasing the strong-arm robbery video at the Ferguson Liquor Market, Daryl Parks held a press conference.
During the press conference Mr. Parks was asked a question about his organizing a 2nd autopsy of the body of “Big Mike” Brown. He responded thusly:

…”it’s done, and we’ll talk about that later, we’re not answering any questions about the second autopsy at this time; we will -in time- do that”….

However, when the autopsy was published as ‘media evidence’ the night of Sunday 8/17 by the New York Times (Robles), the article stated the autopsy was conducted by Shawn Parcells and Dr. Michael Baden on 8/17.
As the Times outlines Dr. Baden flew to Saint Louis on 8/17 to perform the task.
Well obviously you can see a problem.
How can Brown family attorney Daryl Parks say the second autopsy was completed prior to the Friday 8/15 press conference, if Dr. Baden didn’t arrive until Sunday 8/17 ?
The legacy media and the New York Times obviously didn’t question the disparity, so we wrote about it HERE hoping to bring in the sunlight.
A pathology blog, already holding previous concerns about the use of unlicensed, uncertified and untrained Shawn Parcells, picked up the issue we outlined and contacted Mr Parcells for clarification.

[…] Obviously this is a very serious allegation, especially in such a high profile case such as this, and I wanted to give Mr. Parcells a chance to respond. I called and left a message on his voice mail, and he called me back within five minutes.

Mr. Parcells readily admitted he went to St. Louis a few days prior to Dr. Baden’s arrival so as to help the Brown family’s attorneys with some administrative matters.

While he was there, he learned the mortuary where Mr. Brown’s body was being held was planning to embalm him due to the fact it did not have a cooler in which to store the body.

Mr. Parcells stated he did take some photographs of Mr. Brown’s body and injuries in order to document the appearance of the gunshot wounds prior to embalming since the embalming process can alter gross findings.

But Mr. Parcells was emphatic Dr. Baden, who did review the pre-embalming photographs Mr. Parcells took, was physically present and conducted the official second forensic examination of Mr. Brown’s body on August 17th.

Mr. Parcells then asked me to look at an image of the preliminary autopsy diagram he and Dr. Baden put together, which is below (click to enlarge).

However, despite the New York Times, CBS, Washington Post, and Associated Press calling Shawn Parcells a “forensic pathologist”, he’s not. Not even close.

[…] After Mr. Parcells described himself as a “forensic pathologist assistant and medical investigator”, Dr. Mitchell says:

That is a degree that does not exist in my knowledge, except in the mind of Shawn Parcells…You cannot claim the title, because it is a formal, licensable position. You can assist somebody; in this way I can say, for instance, I have paid my taxes, so I am an assistant President of the United States…He has none of the qualifications that are required. He has experience as a morgue technician, somebody who would move bodies around, clean up after an autopsy…

To his credit, Mr. Parcells admitted he is not certified as a pathologist assistant, but rather he is qualified due to his experience working under Dr. Young.

To this Dr. Young responded:

Shawn hung out at the Jackson County Medical Examiner’s office but was not trained by me.”…. “He has been representing himself in a way that is not appropriate by giving forensic pathology opinions when he is not qualified to do so.

So, it would appear, if we are to reconcile the Daryl Parks statement, an unlicensed guy who “hung out at the Jackson County Medical Examiners office” named Shawn Parcells, was given instructions by Parks and Crump to do a 2nd autopsy, which they now claim was only pictures and preliminary autopsy work, prior to the arrival of Dr. Michael Baden, who would do the “real second autopsy”, now technically the 3rd, a few days later.
Both ‘hang out guy’ Parcells, and Dr. Baden signed off on the autopsy diagram.
A diagram which, after they signed, was then manipulated by Parks and crump to give the appearance of another injury to the back and inner aspect of the right arm – therefore selling their media narrative of evidence for a shot from the rear.

This, we call, the mysterious “Red Mark” noticed during the live media broadcast – which is absolutely not present in either the original diagram, or the diagram published in the accompanying New York Times article.
OK, got it ?
This is how the factual construct of an official autopsy, is spun inside the blender of Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump, and now officially becomes, ta da’, Media Evidence.
But why would Dr. Baden go along with the ruse and risk his “credibility”? A question raised by some, but within the pathological community (‘forensic’ intentionally omitted), a question long ago since answered and recently encapsulated:

You folks who are old enough to remember the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson will know the name. He was a well respected forensic pathologist who began selling his services and his testimony to the highest bidder.

He is the “expert” who testified for O.J. Simpson, then, when questioned by the media about his testimony claimed he hadn’t said what he said on the stand. Baden also “testilied” for the defense in the murder trial of music mogul Phil Specter.

But hey, his wife was Specter’s defense attorney. What would you do to keep peace in the family?

We wouldn’t have hired someone with those sorts of questionable ethics, but the Brown family can do what they want while they have someone else paying the freight and looking for a big payout later.

Baden tells Fox News that Brown was shot six times, four times in the right arm, twice in the head, and one of those wounds was in the top of the head. Interesting. Every time a black thug is shot by police we are treated to statements like “He didn’t deserve to die like that. They could have shot him in the leg or something.” Well, it seems this officer did just that by putting four rounds into Brown’s right arm. Brown kept coming. The wound to the top of the head indicates Brown was likely still charging at the officer when he caught that one.

The race hustlers haven’t quite figured out how to spin that fact yet. Don’t worry, they will figure out something with the help of Dr. Baden. They are trying hard, though.

They held a press conference this morning claiming those six wounds support the stories told by “witnesses”. Um, yeah, not so much. They hope you will concentrate solely on the number of rounds fired and forget all those other aspects of the “witness” statements where they claimed Brown was standing there with his hands in the air and other nonsense not supported by the Fact family.

You can claim Parcells and Baden reviewed Parcells earlier work and then did the autopsy again – together on 8/17. But given what we know of the historical track record another plausible situation is just as possible: The guy who hung around the mortuary, Parcells, did the make shift autopsy, and Baden flew in and signed off on it solely to give it credibility.
And in regard to the “top of head shot” that’s drawn so much attention from the Parks and Crump camp, we’d like to draw your attention to an almost identical shot pattern fired last year by FBI officers as they were charged by another thug, Ibragim Todashev.

Almost identical shot pattern which is the specific result of a person charging toward the police.
