Pathologist under fire -- Mullins -Johnson
Dr. Charles Smith, the pathologist who had concluded that Mullins Johnson's niece had been sexually molested and murdered, is being sued by a woman who claims that she was wrongly jailed for killing her daughter. Recent evidence indicates that the daughter was killed by a pitbull; Smith had determined that the daughter died of stab wounds.
His work is currently being investigated in more than 40 different cases where Smith had either testified in court or conducted an autopsy, according to CBC news. Meanwhile, he's still practicing and has just left Toronto Sick Kids Hospital to work in Saskatoon.
If we are in fact dedicated to preventing wrongful convictions, then we must reluctantly concede that Charles Smith has the right to continue to work until he is proven guilty of these allegations beyond a shadow of a doubt. Having said that, I'm glad that I don't need any surgical pathology work done at the moment at the Saskatoon City Hospital!
