Well, well well! How interesting! Dr David Fowler is not South African

A colleague informed me that he considers himself Rhodesian - grew up under the racist Ian Smith

Zimbabwean-born pathologist, Dr David Fowler, has been testifying for the defence in the murder trial of fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin charged with killing George Floyd.

The South African-trained pathologist who was born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, is currently being sued for civil rights violations and covering for police stating they did nothing wrong in the murder of Anton Black.

Fowler graduated from the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 1983 and is the former state of Maryland chief medical examiner.

The Zimbabwean-born pathologist reviewed Floyd’s case for the defence and told the court on Wednesday he considered the cause of death to be undetermined.
