Coroner Defies Court Order To Release Autopsy Of Vegas Mass Murderer Paddock
2018-02-02
[DailyCaller] Clark County Nevada Coroner John Fudenberg is defying a court order to release the full autopsy report of Stephen Paddock, the shooter who caused the deadliest mass murder in the nation, killing 58 and wounding close to 700 people at a concert in Las Vegas.

District Court Judge Timothy Williams ordered the coroner Tuesday to immediately release the autopsy. Fudenberg is conferring with others in his office, and no date had been given for his compliance with the judge’s order, the coroner’s office told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The office also told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which sued for the autopsy report, they wouldn’t release Paddock’s autopsy report until it was "finalized."

"The coroner’s office has fought to keep autopsy reports confidential," according to the the Review-Journal.

A judge ordered the coroner Jan. 11 to pay about $32,000 in legal costs to the Review-Journal for refusing to release public records to the newspaper.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released an interim report Jan. 8 on the shooting. The report gave only scant information about the autopsy and did not release either the autopsy or a toxicology report on Paddock.

#13  There are way too many guesses that could be made as to what is being hidden.

The BIG issue is the idea that has spread like wildfire that every pissant bureaucrat can defy the law and not disclose that which has been requested. (see also FBI memo)

#11  When did it just become okay to override the law? Throw the bum in jail and let him think about it for awhile.

#9  "Classic 'nightstick' to the calves drops the subject to their knees. We'll find from the path of the slug that right-handed Paddock 'shot himself' with his left hand. "

You know I Am not the conspiracy type but... the producer for RT beat himself up in a hotel room and Clintons Lawyer shot himself twice in the back of the head with a shotgun.
Along with other various deaths.

I held the line until now. Now you spill or I will pinch your titty. Say unkle!

#7  “Preliminarily, the injuries noted were on the posterior of both calves and a gunshot wound to the upper palette inside the decedent’s mouth with obvious damage to the upper teeth,” the department stated.

Classic 'nightstick' to the calves drops the subject to their knees. We'll find from the path of the slug that right-handed Paddock 'shot himself' with his left hand.

#2  They'd have basic tox screen back within a few hours, tops. Alcohol, opiates, benzos, amphetamines, etc. So that's not the source of delay. Whats behind the delay?
