Hayne is the forensics equivalent of the “too big to fail” syndrome in bank regulation. Mississippi law enforcement and prosecutors deserve most of the blame for giving one man responsibility for so many forensic-dependent prosecutions.

If you read the cases which discuss Hayne, there is a kind of bootstrap argument going on: i.e., he must be qualified because he’s testified so many times.

Public Safety Commissioner Steve Simpson wouldn’t comment for the paper. ... Not sure why he’s not talking now. That could just be timing. Call him at 4pm on a Friday, ask if he can comment right now for a 5pm deadline, that kind of thing.

I’m sure there is or will be a couch potato lawyer that will attempt to defend this crap but the bottom line is, his job as a medical examiner is to DETERMINE the CAUSE of death. In other words, he is given a BLANK SLATE (a corspe), nothing more, nothing less and from physical findings, makes a determination as to the cause of death.

In cases where Hayne was involved not only was he given a BLANK SLATE he was also handed “alleged confessions and alleged facts”. It’s no surprise that Hayne’s physical findings completely MATCHED the States BOGUS CLAIMS .

Not to mention that Hayne allso testified as an EXPERT in Forensics which he is not and never has been.

Danks (Hayne’s back woods attorney) must think the majority of people in this country are as dumb as a box of rocks and to him I say; You might be able to baffle the folks in Mississippi with your bullshit but the rest of us are NOT dazzled by it!!

I think it’s time for a live protest!

In the meantime, here’s my petition. A monumental THANKS to Radley the unsung hero for his articles (I use the links on the petition) and for allowing me to post my link here:

“They merely need to pass a law revoking the old law.”

I would love to see lots of this but am not holding my breath.

And once again, like with the Haley Oliveaux story, the Clarion-Ledger doesn’t feel it necessary to credit you for first reporting this story three weeks ago. I live in Mississippi, and your article was actually reprinted in the Jackson Free Press, our alternative paper. So it’s not like the Clarion-Ledger people can say they didn’t know about your article. In fact, that’s probably how they heard about the story.
