Two Mississippi men were found dead, hanging from trees. What we know about both cases

14. Of course the family will demand an independent autopsy.

You know this. I know this. And the medical examiner knows this.

So now let me ask you: what purpose would it serve for the medical examiner to lie? What logical reason would they have to knowingly lie and claim there are no signs of violence when they know full well that the truth will out in days or a week at most? And furthermore, they'd know that once the truth is out they'll be subject to the blowback of their lie, consequences both professional and personal.

So no, it doesn't pass the smell test that this medical examiner is knowingly, maliciously telling an easily disprovable lie. I suppose I could believe lying about something very subtle that they could claim to have missed.

But broken bones in three limbs? Something that obvious isn't going to be missed, particularly when in some cases broken bones are visible to a casual inspection unless we're talking about hairline fractures.
