Dissecting Death: Secrets of a Medical Examiner by Frederick T. Zugibe

3.0

This book consists of case studies of several different deaths that one of the country's top medical examiners has worked on. It was amazingly detailed in it's explanations about all different aspects of crime scene investigations. The medical science nerd in me thought it was intriguing and beautiful. BUT the problem with it is that he weaves in his opinions about each of the examples, and I was sooo surprised to find that one of the cases he worked on was the famous brink's robbery involving the BLA and Weather Underground. His research looked at who fired the fateful shots that ended up putting David Gilbert, Samuel Brown and Kawasi Balagoon in prison. SO CRAZY to randomly come across that. It would have been 5 stars for the information, but damn...I wish it had been all fact, no opinion.
