Yep. Per following:
Among his recent cases was the death of Harvard University biologist Don Wiley, whose accidental fall from a Memphis bridge in December fueled fears of terrorist kidnappings. The medical examiner also helped identify the body of Katherine Smith, 49, a state driver's license examiner who was found burned beyond recognition in February the day before a hearing on federal charges of helping five Middle Eastern men obtain fake driver's licenses. No one has been charged in her death.
There's a very real possibility that it wasn't Workman's bullet that killed that cop, and that the attempts to have him executed constitute a deprivation of his civil rights *under color of law.* That could make for some real interesting problems for witnesses who've perjured themselves or concealed exculpatory evidence, or worse. And it's interesting to note where Steve Parker, one of the other cops involved in the Workman case has ended up.
