Defense attorneys call for probe into troubled Tarrant County MEâs Office
By FOX 4 Staff article
FORT WORTH, Texas - Defense lawyers may have a reason to appeal a lot of convictions after serious questions were raised over the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office.
They demanded that county commissioners launch an outside investigation of the ME’s office.
The questions began with the number two doctor there –Mark Krouse – who botched several autopsies, including failing to find a bullet left in one man’s body.
Then a state district judge accused the Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Nizam Peerwani of misleading a jury in a murder case.
