The case I’m involved in where Hayne testified is incredible. He did no testing of anything, no indepth examination of the body or wounds, no brain tissue was taken even though mental degeneration was reported by the family, absolutely nothing was done except for Hayne declaring the man dead and in his opinion it was homicide because there were stab wounds on the back of the victim’s hands. I mean, I belive a monkey could have done that job. Yet the child is serving life.

After the defense attorney began questioning Hayne’s credentials:

“Hayne testified Tuesday that he performs between 1,500 and 1,600 autopsies a year. He said a suggested professional standard is 250 autopsies a year.

“About how many hours a day do you think you work?” Polk-Payton asked.

“I usually start work at about 8:15 in the morning,” Hayne answered. “Last night I got to bed at actually 2:30 this morning.”

Hayne testified that he only sleeps 3 1/2 to four hours a night, as a result of his work schedule.

“I don’t like to sleep. That’s the way I am, some people need sleep, some don’t – I don’t need it,” Hayne, 66, said.

Moments later, Forrest County Circuit Judge Bob Helfrich interjected.

“Dr. Hayne will be accepted by this court as an expert witness,” Helfrich said.”

I don’t know…what’s the white/black conviction ratio?

“Dr. Hayne has always been professional when working (to get convictions on) cases for us. We stand by his work fully.”

Absolutely ridiculous. Other states would be laughing at this, but I am sure that they are hanging their heads low at the miscarriage of justice in Mississippi.
