Maryland to Review Reports Produced Under Former ME Who Testified Derek Chauvin Did Not Kill George Floyd

The attorney general of Maryland has said that his office supports a review by outside experts of all “in custody” death reports produced under David Fowler, the state’s former Chief Medical Examiner, after Fowler testified in the trial of Derek Chauvin that George Floyd died from a pre-existing heart condition, according to a report Friday in The Baltimore Sun.

The office of Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh said that “it was ‘appropriate’ for outside experts to review all ‘in custody’ death reports produced by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner under Dr. David Fowler,” the report said.

Frosh’s office made the announcement less than one day after receiving a letter signed by more than 431 doctors from around the country, saying Fowler’s testimony and conclusions “were so far outside the bounds of accepted forensic practice that all his previous work could come into question,” the Sun report said. A spokeswoman for Frosh said that the office has been in contact with Gov. Larry Hogan about the review, the Sun reported.

The review comes as the attorney general’s office defends against a lawsuit brought by the family of Anton Black, a 19-year-old who died in police custody in 2018. His death was caught on video, with police holding down Black, who was unarmed, for more than six minutes.

1. "supports a review" means it won't get done.
