He applied to the Court of Appeal to gain access to microscope slides and blocks taken from Carter’s brain during the post-mortem examination. The slides are in custody of forensic pathologist Dr Martin Sage. Gray wants the slides examined by a consultant neuropathologist in the UK to enable him to comment on the merits of his appeal. Sage was reluctant to release the slides without a court order compelling him to do so. According to a recently released Court of Appeal decision, Sage expressed concerns about releasing the slides when the post-mortem was not part of the evidence at trial, and before the coronial inquest had been completed.

A wing of a 12-storey beachfront condo building collapsed in a town outside Miami on June 24. Now, it’s important to stress that CTV and Champlain are very different disasters. They happened in different places, under different conditions where different building regulations applied. One of them collapsed in the earthquake. The other one just collapsed. Buildings collapse on themselves because their core structural elements are unable to withstand the forces placed on them. Whether those forces are from an earthquake, the building’s own weight, or something else. But with CTV and Miami there were inescapable similarities. In both cases, it appears elements of the building were weaker than intended because of inadequate design and/or construction. This made them more susceptible to the aforementioned forces.
