Trayvon Martin medical examiner claims prosecutors intentionally lost case

Dr. Shiping Bao, the Volusia County medical examiner who handled teenager Trayvon Martin’s body after he was shot by George Zimmerman in February of 2012, claims that the prosecution team in the case were biased against the African-American teen and intentionally lost. Furthermore, Bao said that his attorney is poised to sue the state of Florida for $100 million, according to WFTV Channel 9.

Bao’s attorney told WFTV that the medical examiner was wrongfully terminated last week by the county. According to the former assistant coroner, his autopsy results showed that it was impossible for Martin to have been on top of George Zimmerman when the gunman pulled the trigger.

A victim of GOP Obamacare sabotage speaks out

"I find the letter quite offensive," says Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Food Banks, which received a $1.9 million grant. "It is shocking. It is absolutely shocking." [...]
"Was this an attempt by members of the committee to basically stop and slow down the navigator process?" Hamler-Fugitt says. "We’re going to stop now and pull together voluminous documents to provide back to the committee?"

Some of those documents don't yet exist, she says. "We weren't required to provide position papers, salary ranges, privacy policies or procedures. You don’t do that until you know that you got the award." [...]

"It's going to be very, very time consuming at the very time we're trying to get our [organization running]. No one’s even been hired yet," Hamler-Fugitt adds. "Not one penny has been drawn on this grant." Some of the smaller nonprofits that are part of the food bank’s network of local organizations slated to do the outreach, she says, may withdraw from the program entirely.
