Medical Examiner in Trayvon Martin Case Preparing $100M Lawsuitby PJ |
*Some of you may recall former associate medical examiner Dr. Shiping Bao who testified during George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial in the shooting death of an unarmed Trayvon Martin.
According to WFTV 9 (Orlando) , Bao is planning to file a $100 million lawsuit in the case.
During Zimmerman’s trial, Bao’s testimony raised quite a few eyebrows.
"I
believe it is my opinion that Trayvon Martin was in a lot of pain, and
that he was suffering," Bao said July 5 during testimony in the
Zimmerman trial.
Bao
took the stand and changed up his testimony about vital statements he’d
made. He explained that he had changed his mind on Martin being alive
for only three minutes after the shooting.
"I believe he was alive one to 10 minutes after he was shot. His heart was beating until there was no blood left," Bao said.
Well
now Dr. Bao has announced that his attorney is preparing a $100
million lawsuit with claims that the medical examiner, state attorney's
office, and Sanford Police Department were all biased against Martin.
"He says their general attitude was that he got what he deserved," Attorney Willie Gary told Channel 9.
According
to Gary, Bao was made to be a scapegoat and was wrongfully fired from
the medical examiner's office. He said his client was prepared to offer
proof that Martin was not the aggressor.
"He was in essence told to zip his lips. 'Shut up. Don't say those things,'" Gary said.
Gary said prosecutors never asked Dr. Bao a question crucial to their case.
"He
wanted a question that would have allowed him to explain to the jury
with scientific evidence how there was no way Trayvon Martin could have
been on top of George Zimmerman," Attorney Gary said.
Gary said that question never came.
