Wecht indicted on 84 counts
By The Tribune-Review Friday, January 20, 2006
A federal grand jury this morning indicted Allegheny County Medical Examiner Dr. Cyril H. Wecht on 84 counts. The grand jury also indicted two other people, former coroner's histologist George Hollis and recently retired chief pathologist Leon Rozin.
The 22-member grand jury has been investigating Wecht for two years, focusing on whether he used county employees and resources to perform work for his private pathology business. The grand jury, which concluded its work today, also was investigating whether public employees chauffered Wecht and his relatives to Pittsburgh International Airport for personal trips and to and from other events.

Guess he is going to have to give up his new ME job...he had signed an agreement that if he was indicted, he would step down.
This is his second time for the same crap. He is an ego maniac and a crook.

More? You want to know if he stole other stuff too?
Wecht publicly commented on the "bungled" autopsy of Ron Brown (Commerce Secretary, former DNC chair) who died circa 1997.
This Celebrity Pathologist always seemed a bit sleazy to me.
Is Greta still on Natalee Holloway?
I flipped to Faux for the first time in months the other day, and it was talk about Natalee Holloway. Can't remember if it was Greta's show or not.
Wow, I knew he was being investigated, and from the reports, I thought he may be guilty of some things, but never thought it would be this big.
Wecht went to the Anderson Cooper School of Breathing.
I'd like to know the nature of the evidence.
We used his expertise a couple of times in court. Guess fame and fortune goes to everyone's head, eventually.
