Obituary: Noted pathologist/coroner and JFK assassination conspiracy buff Cyril Wecht, 93, has died.
He was also prominent in Democratic Party politics, so he wasn't all bad, just off the rails when it came to the assassination.
I remember the mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald back in the 1980s, and the prosecutor for the mock trial, Vincent Bugliosi, destroyed Wecht on the stand with the greatest of ease.
Snip:
The pathologist — a pioneer when he went into the field in the 1960s — conducted more than 20,000 autopsies during his career and consulted on post-mortem exams for another 40,000. He wrote dozens of books and hundreds of other professional publications, and he continued his speaking engagements well into the last years of his life.
He was the first civilian to examine the evidence in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He believed that JonBenet Ramsey’s father killed her but it was an accident. He opined that Elvis Presley died of an overdose.

Poor Dr. Wecht was wrong on all three counts.

A Tennessee woman denied an abortion in that state despite carrying a severely deformed fetus slams the state's draconian law.
The law makes no exceptions for fatal conditions and also criminalizes physicians who perform the procedure outside of the allowed exceptions.
Ms Cecil recalled the doctor not knowing how to respond to her question about her options.
“That’s something that no one should ever hear,” she noted.
The doctor set her up with a specialist, where another ultrasound was conducted. That scan was more difficult, she says, because she could see the severity of the fetus’ condition. “I could see the brain not attached,” Ms Cecil said.
