Cyril H. Wecht, MD, JD, one of the world's leading forensic pathologists/lawyers takes the reader inside some of the nation's most bizarre and intriguing medico-legal investigations and shows how forensic scientists help to solve crimes and why they sometimes fail in their efforts.
Was Marilyn Monroe's death a murder? How was JFK's autopsy completely botched? Was Scott Peterson convicted of murdering Laci Peterson based upon circumstantial evidence alone? Did Washington intern Chandra Levy know her killer? Dr. Cyril Wecht shares his insights and scientific expertise on nine cases that he has officially investigated high-profile cases as well as other lesser-known but highly intriguing mysteries.
Dr. Cyril Wecht's vast experience and his willingness to take on the establishment if necessary and provide proof that runs counter to popular opinion make this book a page-turner.
