FWIW

Radley Balko, whom I read faithfully and sometimes steal jokes from, has been writing about this for years. It's great that CNN has finally picked it up, though I wish they had credited him.

Of course, I rarely do. Now, go read about the guy whom I sincerely hope is the world's least competent forensic pathologist.


Or you can read about him here.
