Baden office "extremely sloppy":<br /> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/17/nyregion/morgenthau-testifies-in-trial-of-a-lawsuit-on-baden-dismissal.html">https://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/17/nyregion/morgenthau-testifies-in-tria...</a><br />  </p> <blockquote> <p>But Baden’s success has not been without controversy. In 1979, after just 11-months as the chief medical examiner of New York Mayor Ed Koch fired Baden. He claimed that the hot-shot examiner had lost evidence and worked poorly with prosecutors. Baden later won $100,000 in a wrongful termination case, but he was pushed out of the office nonetheless.</p> <blockquote>“He is very bright, but he has a propensity for giving out statements and testimony which are not entirely accurate.”</blockquote> <p>A few years later, Baden was fired again, when he worked as the deputy medical examiner in Suffolk County on Long Island, according to the Los Angeles Times. An article in Oui Magazine quoted him giving advice for getting away with “high tech murder.” He later denied the quote, but one of his fellow pathologists grumbled about the ethics of a medical examiner giving “advice on how to kill people,” and Baden was forced out.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>In 2007, Baden was again in the news for questionable conduct, this time as he took the stand in the Phil Spector murder trial. He had a fresh theory of how Spector's alleged victim had died, one that provided room for the defense to explain some blood on Spector’s jacket. During cross examination, the prosecutor asked Baden if he had any conflict of interest in this case.</p> <p>“None that I can think of,” he said, according to the Los Angeles Times. Moments later it was revealed his wife was one of Spector’s main attorneys.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>“He is very bright,” said a former classmate of Baden’s, who ran a big city medical examiner’s office around the same time Baden did. “But he has a propensity for giving out statements and testimony which are not entirely accurate.”</p> <p>This pathologist, who requested anonymity because of the extraordinary controversy of the Brown case, was particularly critical of Baden’s work in Missouri. He said Brown [<em>typo for Baden? - PP</em>] was way too confident for someone who hadn’t seen x-rays, clothing, or lab reports, “all of which can be important.” It was also worrying that Brown had been embalmed, because that would alter the color of the wounds, potentially throwing off Baden’s analysis of entry and exit wounds, and his count of six bullets.</p> <p>“It could be that only three bullets made those wounds,” the pathologist said.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>In 2007, Baden was again in the news for questionable conduct, this time as he took the stand in the Phil Spector murder trial.

Traumatic compression of neck with asphyxia, inability to breathe. Homicidal assault.”</p> <p>However, during Thursday’s hearing Baden said he’d made a mistake and the statement was not completely accurate. Baden said he’d used the phrase “inability to breathe” as a way of characterizing asphyxia to a lay audience even though in this particular case “asphyxia” referred to the interruption of blood flow to the brain and not air flow.</p> <p>“It was an unnecessarily gratuitous comment,” Baden said.</p> <div><img alt="Judge Geoffrey Crawford.

File photo</p> </div> <p>Judge Geoffrey Crawford said his primary interest relative to the Daubert challenge was not to determine the cause of death but whether the methodology explaining the cause of death was sound.</p> <p>“I’m interested in making sure the scientific process lines up,” he told the courtroom. “If I get it wrong,” he added, “one of the possible outcomes is a third trial.”</p> <p>A witness for the defense, Dr. Charles Wetli, deputy chief medical examiner for Florida’s Dade County for nearly 20 years and later Suffolk County in New York, argued there was a single cause of death: “blunt cranial cerebral trauma.” Wetli said there was no evidence to support Baden’s conclusion that the neck injuries were lethal.</p> <p>“It doesn’t make any sense that there would be an asphyxial component here,” he testified.</p> <p>Wetli also faulted Baden for not performing a layer-wise neck dissection during the autopsy, for failing to include body diagrams, and not attaching a toxicology report to the final document, which he said was standard practice. According to Wetli, the more comprehensive neck dissection could’ve revealed additional information relevant to determining the cause of death.</p> <p>U.S. Attorney William Darrow said Wetli and Baden agreed on the majority of relevant matters and that their differences should be decided by a jury. The defense argued that the two men agreed on only one cause of death — the traumatic brain injury — and the assertion that the neck injuries were lethal would not meet the Daubert standard.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://vtdigger.org/2016/09/25/medical-examiner-recants-testimony-alleged-killers-trial/">https://vtdigger.org/2016/09/25/medical-examiner-recants-testimony-alleg...</a></p> <p>And during the Derek Medina trial, <a href="https://miami.cbslocal.com/2015/11/19/self-defense-evidence-heard-in-facebook-killer-case/">Baden asserted that the wife victim was standing</a> (presumably hitting her husband?) while being shot, whereas the prosecution had prevented graphic reconstruction showing the wife cowering/kneeling when her husband began shooting after which he posted photos of her rivited body to Facebook. Medina was convicted &amp; life sentence upheld.
