Dr. Vincent DiMaio (testified in Zimmerman trial) is widely considered one of the nation’s foremost leading forensic pathologist.   He too sees through the political smokescreen deployed by Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby – Backstory.

Dr--Vincent-Di-Maio

(Via The Baltimore Sun) Asked about the Maryland medical examiner’s conclusion that Freddie Gray‘s death from injuries sustained in police custody was a homicide, Dr. Vincent DiMaio, one of the nation’s leading forensic pathologists, said:

“I’d have to respectfully disagree, and I know a number of other medical examiners do. It would be more appropriate to have classified this case as either an accident or ‘undetermined,’ because the way it’s being called a homicide is, in a way, something that a jury has to decide. A medical examiner is not a lawyer, is not a jury. … They’re saying [Gray’s death] was not an unforeseen event. That’s something for a jury to decide, not the doctor to decide.” (link)

Dr. DiMaio literally wrote the current textbooks being used to teach modern forensic pathology.  If he aligns with the defense team, and testifies at trial, he will shred the autopsy narrative as constructed by Mosby and delivered by Asst. ME Carol H Allan.
