Maryland medical examiner's reputation suffers after he testifies in George Floyd's case
Dr. David R. Fowler, the retired chief medical examiner for Maryland, was highly regarded in the small world of forensic pathologists. Maryland’s office ranks among the leading institutions in the specialty field; Fowler ran it for nearly two decades. He’s published more than 100 scientific journal articles and lectured around the world on everything from the risk of crib bumpers to homicides by kitchen knife.
Though defense attorneys challenged Fowler’s rulings over the years, his peers elected him president of the National Association of Medical Examiners in 2015. Then he served as chairman of the board.
With one day of testimony, his reputation was in tatters.
“Everyone who I was talking to was taken aback by how baseless his testimony was,” said pathologist Dr. Emily Duncanson, of St. Paul, Minnesota.
