In November famed pathologist Dr. Michael Baden went on FOX and Friends where he claimed evidence points to homicide over suicide in Jeffrey Epstein’s prison death. Dr. Baden also pointed to the three broken neck bones were “very unusual of suicide and more indicative of homicide strangulation.” Dr. Baden is not the only top pathologist who said this. Dr. Cyril Wecht, a doctor and lawyer, told Kennedy on FOX Business Network in August a Montreal study found only 2 of 239 hanging death resulted in a broken Hyoid bone — or less than 1% of those killed. Dr. Baden was...

Dr. Wecht, who is a doctor and lawyer, told Kennedy a Montreal study found only 2 of 239 hanging death resulted in a broken Hyoid bone — or less than 1% of those killed. Top US inmate and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein suffered broken bones in his neck and a broken Hyoid bone that is more common in strangulation deaths. Wecht added that every prisoner in the MCC on his floor should be questioned about his death. On Thursday Dr. Mark Siegel told...

Regarding Cyril Wecht's letter slandering Pat Buchanan ("Buchanan's hatred of Jews," April 25), it is on record that Israeli intelligence (the Mossad), recognized as the best in the world on Middle East matters, predicted prior to the invasion of Iraq that GIs would be welcomed into Baghdad with rose petals as liberators.

Federal authorities are investigating Dr. Cyril H. Wecht's activities as Allegheny County coroner, Wecht's attorney said yesterday. "It's an inquiry into Dr. Wecht's activities and endeavors as the coroner and his professional activities as a leading forensic pathologist in America," said attorney David Armstrong. Officials with the U.S. attorney's office and FBI would not comment last night.

Dr. Cyril Wecht, the Allegheny County coroner, is as brilliant as he is bombastic. And he is very brilliant. I genuinely like him, but sometimes he infuriates all of us. His dismissive comments about Christians a few days ago border on religious bigotry. He disagrees. Wecht had been hired by the defense as a consultant in the Scott Peterson murder trial. He did his own autopsy on Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Connor. Peterson, as stone cold a murderer as there is, killed his pregnant wife and dumped the body in the San Francisco Bay, while having an affair,...

Scott Peterson's defense team Tuesday briefed two forensic experts on a statanic cult theory, including paintings and artwork near San Francisco Bay and an experiment showing that the pregnant Laci Peterson's body could have been placed in the water at the art site. Attorney Matt Dalton, using a laptop computer, showed artwork that he said depicted ritualistic killings and occult practices, and said the artwork could be found near the end of a peninsula in the bay. Dalton also said that the defense team placed weighted flotation devices in the water at the end of the peninsula, and they ended...
