Yet another good swing at one of the most rotten elements of our criminal justice system.

Cue Dan T. to show up demanding that only people from Mississippi can criticize Mississippi government, and that since Dr. Hayne is a private contractor, that no libertarian can ever criticize him, because he's not the government.

Damn you Balko! Every time I'm having a good day, you remind me of things like this and I have to spend time being outraged.

"If you want to compare me with the average forensic pathologist, I think it's an insult to me,"

Oh, believe you me, "Doctor" Hayne, we won't be comparing you with the average pathologist. Contrasting, perhaps, but comparing? No way.
