Not need to worry now though, Federal airport screeners are doing body searches on elderly grandmothers.

"There's a whole lot of something wrong going down in Tennessee"

Sure is. Yeh, and the Tyson-Lewis fight might create a lot more of something wrong going down in Tennessee. But, let's hope not.

I'm sending your template to my niece and her husband who recently moved to Tenn.. This state has become a hell hole that nurishes and attracts the really bad people.

Of course it produced the famous father son/Goron team.

Thanks, Shermy, and to you too too, JDGreen123. You may both find the recent and past archived mumblings and whinings of the Memphis Da'wah Muslim group to be of interest.

Shermy can you come up with the list of the 11 micro biologist that have died in the past year? I remember seeing it but can't locate it here?

From your article above:
Last year, anonymous letters threatened harm to Smith, a prosecution witness in the long-running case of convicted Memphis cop killer Philip Workman.

Smith said at the time that he had not received any letters himself but was taking the threats "very seriously."

Workman's attorneys had challenged the validity of Smith's ballistics and laboratory tests. Smith said the tests proved Workman's bullet killed Memphis police Lt. Ronald Oliver in 1981.

In one letter, the writer called Smith a liar and said, "Long have I waited for my HOLY ORDER to fight against the DOCTOR-KILLER abortionists but now I know OUR LORD was saving me for something larger."

I posted my theory about this yesterday, but no one seemed to think it had much relation:

 
Medical Examiner Attacked, Tied to Bomb Outside Office [Memphis, again!]

In some article I read by Jim Garrison -- the real life DA from NO Stone made JFK about -- Garrison asserted that when "the Establishment" wanted to infiltrate and "control" an area, they would make it a priority to get one of "their people" in the position of medical examiner because the position has so much power in a real world way. The position can label deaths accidental/murder, etc.

Perhaps there's more to this guy than meets the eye...

Here's another story, significant only because the accused murderer's birthday is the day Smith was attacked: Saturday, June 1st.:

They are accusing the Shelby County medical examiner of purposefully withholding evidence that could have helped them defend Workman."That X-ray was absent from the record for one reason: the Medical Examiner's Office suppressed it," the attorneys wrote yesterday in the motion to reopen the case. Dr. O.C. Smith, Shelby County medical examiner, did not return a request for comment yesterday.

from this Death Row Inmate's Case History page, which I neither support, nor am against... just remember it from Court TV:
Philip Workman; Tennessee Death Row
The Case Today

Interesting coincidence, if that's all it is. I wonder how much more can be found about Smith?

I forgot this one in the last post:
With drama befitting a John Grisham novel, the day before their client's last-chance clemency hearing, Minton and Dorsey uncovered a missing autopsy X-ray taken by the Memphis/Shelby County medical examiner, O.C. Smith. He says that he just forgot about the X-ray's existence, and that it "just got lost" over years of refiling. Monday, 10 out of the 12 jurors went on record saying they would not have recommended the death penalty knowing the new information. from Salon News:Dead Man Talking

Could the letter calling Smith a liar possibly be referring to, in his own words, forgetting & losing an x-ray crucial to the case, even the jurors' decision? Just another theory to throw out there.
