Dr. Haynes performed an autopsy on my 5 year old daughter five months ago. We have FINALLY just received his autopsy report. This report was AFTER I had to get involved in August to help push the labs that were performing several different tests. Bottomline, we will not even look at Dr. Haynes report because we do not believe his office or the State Of Mississippi Medical Examiners office have ANY credibility left. We know she had an enlarged heart which was undetected before her death and that is where my family is going to close this part of our lives. The fact it took five months to get the results just goes to show that the Dr. Haynes and the State had NO regard (not to mention ethics) for the process. Heaven help us if the state EVER requests an autopsy be done on another family member. They did not uphold the trust we placed on them with my daughter, this will not happen again.

So I guess Dr. Haynes used to work with Dr. Michael Berkland, the coroner who signed off on Lori Klausutis…

Both from Jackson County, curious.

Radley, in our case where Hayne performed the autopsy the autopsy was performed on August 16, 2006 and the report was not generated until June 4, 2007. This is far longer than the four month time period you reference in your post. Just thought you’d like to know!

Isn’t this much akin to the FOX guarding the HENHOUSE?

nobahdi:

Fortunately Hayne has a way to ensure complete accuracy, even several months after an autopsy: he can always call his friends in the prosecutors office to remind him what his findings were.

If I drank a beer for every autopsy Hayne performs, I would have a serious drinking problem

…1,500 to 1,800 autopsies per year by his own admission…I have autopsy reports Hayne completed as late as four months after the actual autopsy.

There is no possible way the reports can be accurate if he performed 500 to 600 other autopsies before writing the report.

Another sign of the “new professionalism” in our law enforcement community

Is there a way to catch Hayne in a “sting/gotcha” where he’s obviously falsified an autopsy? Unfortunately dead men tell no tales…..

To analogize, this is like doing the research for a paper, then putting it aside for four months before sitting down to write the paper itself. Or, because we know Hayne likes to have multiple bodies open at once, it’s like simultaneously researching 4-5 papers and then sitting down to construct the prose after letting it sit for four months. One wonders how the man can even remember the age and sex of the deceased, let alone cause and method of death.

The College of American Pathologists is doing exactly what all such organizations do: protect the incompetent.

Seriously, at what point do the people take justice into their own hands. I’m definitely not the person to do it, but I have never really understood what the right time is to take such a leap. How can we get rid of those responsible for these crimes?

It seems to be an extreme example of the down-side of “professional ethics,” i.e. placing the integrity of the profession above the potential consequences to the public of unprofessional conduct.

“It’s like a criminal defense lawyer being able to show up at trial and present all of the evidence and have none of the victims of the crime testify against you,”

Its like having the guy doing the autopsy work for the prosecution and risk his job should he play an honest role in helping the defendant…oh wait.

If Hayne and his 1,500 autopsies, funeral home-based practice, and long trail of fierce critics aren’t enough to merit action, you wonder what a pathologist would have to do to receive an actual rebuke.

Public sodomy of young boys? Man that is one inept organization.
