What's that hitting the fan?

Anderson’s first autopsy was conducted by Dr. Charles F. Siebert, a man who, a little more than a year ago, remarked that “the prostate gland and testes are unremarkable” after examining the body of Donna Faye Reed, who died in a Florida tornado. (Reed, of course, was a woman.)

Pathologist: Sickle cell didn't kill teen
Second autopsy supports suspicions of boot-camp victim's family

A well-known pathologist who observed Monday's 12-hour autopsy of Martin Lee Anderson said the 14-year-old did not die from the sickle-cell trait as originally reported by the Bay County medical examiner.

Dr. Michael Baden, who has reviewed a number of high-profile cases, including the murder of civil-rights leader Medgar Evers, observed the autopsy, the second one performed in the case, on behalf of Anderson's family. The teen died after being beaten by guards at the Bay County Sheriff's boot camp. Baden said it was clear that Anderson did not die of natural causes.

''My opinion is that he died because of what you see in the videotape,'' said Baden, referring to a surveillance video showing guards kicking and punching Anderson's limp body shortly after he arrived at the boot camp Jan. 5.

This whole story stinks! I smell a cover up and it spells big trouble for Law Enforcement and the State. Somebody tell Jeb to get out the checkbook.
