Court System, Autopsy Expert Slammed

Innocence Project attorneys, activists and a man who served 12 years in Parchman for a crime he did not commit are calling for a radical overhaul of the state's criminal-justice system in order to keep innocent Mississippians out of prison. Part of that overhaul, the Innocence Project says, is to revoke the medical license of Dr. Steven Hayne, the de facto autopsy expert in the state who has filled the role of state medical examiner in an unofficial capacity.

In a 1,000-page formal allegation released Tuesday, Innocence Project Co-director Peter Neufeld said Hayne is a major cause of the imprisonment of innocent people in Mississippi. "Steven Hayne's long history of misconduct, incompetence and fraud has sent truly innocent people to death row or to prison for life. This is precisely why regulations are in place to revoke medical licenses," Neufeld said. Hayne's office did not return calls.

At a Millsaps College forum Monday night, Mississippi Innocence Project Director Tucker Carrington pointed to Hayne as a significant factor in a flawed system that allows men like Noxubee County residents Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks, recently exonerated for raping and murdering two toddlers, to go to jail for crimes they did not commit.

"It's a question of money and where we want to put our resources, and when you don't do those things, what's allowed to flourish are people like Dr. Hayne, and he's caused untold amounts of damage to individuals and this state by his actions," Carrington said, adding that the Innocence Project is "screen(ing) cases involving Hayne" for evidence of malfeasance.

Exonerated Jacksonian Cedric Willis spoke to the audience about spending 12 years behind bars, nine of them in Parchman, for a murder he did not commit—even as Hinds County Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter made no move to exonerate him during those years he spent wrongfully serving time, despite the existence of evidence that could clear him.

"He had a motion on my freedom for years, and I never got a response from him. The judge had a right to say, ‘This is not right,'" Willis said, earlier questioning how DeLaughter could "sleep at night" knowing he'd sent an innocent man to rot in prison.

DeLaughter was the assistant district attorney at the time, working under District Attorney Ed Peters, who prosecuted Willis. Judge Breland Hilburn was the judge in the Willis case; neither he, DeLaughter or Peters pushed to allow DNA evidence and witness testimony that could have proved Willis innocent. The real killer remains at large.

DeLaughter is currently under investigation for allegedly taking bribes from Peters, on behalf of attorney Dickie Scruggs, to influence cases. The Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance recently suspended DeLaughter from the bench while the federal investigation continues.

Louisiana Innocence Project Director Emily Maw, who helped Willis finally gain his freedom March 6, 2006, joined the other panelists Monday in the student union to decry a system slanted toward unfair convictions through police or prosecutorial misconduct.

"When Cedric Willis was prosecuted, the state of Mississippi knew full well that they had an innocent man," Maw said. "This was not a case where the prosecutor thought he maybe had a weak case but ... went ahead with the prosecution with some reservations."

Maw added: "They knew outright that Cedric Willis did not commit this crime and they said so themselves in the newspapers—then they willingly kept out evidence that would have proved him innocent, and they let him sit in jail."

"They should be punished for that and probably never will be because state law says that if the prosecutor does something wrong they have almost absolute immunity."

With DeLaughter and Peters legally protected, Willis has since sued the city of Jackson for its role in his prosecution.

Mississippi Innocence Project Director Tucker Carrington said the case of Brewer and Brooks revealed that the problem went further than simple shoddy prosecution:

"In (the) Noxubee (case) the prosecutor got up in his opening statement, and made the ... most perfunctory, unemotional open statement I've ever seen. … You know why? When the judge turned to the defense attorney and asked him, ‘Would you like to make an opening statement,' the defense lawyer said, ‘No.' With that kind of lawyering, the prosecution doesn't even have to do anything. They don't have to investigate the case. They don't really have to go out and find someone different than Hayne."

Maw went on to say that the flawed system is not limited to Mississippi.

"One of our cases in Louisiana, which we've been working on for six years, the man is so blatantly innocent, it's the kind of case that you read about, and you can't believe it was ever successfully prosecuted in the first place."

Maw explained that their client's lawyer "represented the real killer at the time—a real case of professional conflict." The jury convicted the innocent man, and he was sentenced to death, though one jury member later read an FBI report—evidence withheld by the state of Louisiana—revealing the man's innocence and identifying the real killer. Maw said that case is still sitting in line after six years of Innocence Project labor because the court system is "too slow," and because prosecutors put up "a lot of resistance."

She added that judges coming up for re-election sometimes fought retrials, believing that "letting an innocent person out of jail was bad publicity."

Mississippi American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Nsombi Lambright said Monday that the state's system for installing circuit court judges is inherently flawed.

"We have judges in Mississippi who run on a platform of being tough on crime. We should all have a problem with that because a judge is supposed to be fair, impartial and committed to justice," Lambright said. "If you're ‘tough on crime,' you've already said that you're sitting on that bench specifically to lock people up."

I agree, David. Many cheers to them. And Rob McDuff. And Cedric. And Nsombi, while we're naming heroes. I love that Cedric came out of prison after so long and is now out there trying to educate people about these issues. Man, oh man. I will never, ever forget him at Rob's party sitting reading the comments under Brian's story about him, and realizing that he had missed the whole Internet revolution while in prison for something he did not do.

I agree with everyone that there is no greater injustice than the conviction of an innocent defendant. However, while the Innocence Project (IP) highly publicizes the instances in which DNA exonerates a defendant, no one ever hears about the hundreds in which DNA solidifies their convictions. It's horrible that any innocent person is convicted, but I personally do not believe the problem is at and epidemic proportion. IP does hundreds of investigations yearly and byfar the great majority of the convictions stand. As far as Hayne is concerned usually he only testifies to the manner and cause of the death. He does not testify as to who the perpetrator is or was. He also testifies as to injuries on the body. I know Hayne and he is neither a proponent for the State or the Defense. He is definitely not incompetent. Most people convicted of homicides are convicted on eyewitness testimony, confessions, or some other circumstantial evidence (by the way DNA is circumstantial evidence as are fingerprints). IP has an agenda to discredit Hayne and thereby attack every murder conviction (not just those involving DNA) in MS for over the last 15 years. Our justice system is not perfect, but there are tools in place to correct some mistakes. I say some because if a guilty person is acquitted there is no way to correct that. People convicted of crimes have many many appeals in which to correct problems. The sad fact of the matter is that just because a defendant cannot afford a $200/hr attorney does not mean he doesn't get a fair trial. I have seen many attorneys at work and to this date Tom Fortner was the best defense attorney that I have ever seen and he was the court appointed public defender. Everyone should be careful while jumping on this IP bandwagon.

BTW, the statement by a judicial candidate that he/she will be tough on crime is not a statement that means that the candidate is prosecution friendly. To me that means that once a person is convicted of a crime the judge will be tough in sentencing. Once a person is convicted by a jury there is no longer a question as to guilt. It is then the Judge's duty to sentence that individual. A judge has discretion as to the sentence if you don't want a judge that will give stiff sentences then don't vote for him/her but don't say that the judge is jaded. That is a totally unfair statement.

I appreciate the comments to this article. I did, however, want to respond to clarkkent, whose posts were well and concisely written, but contain some misperceptions about the work of innocence projects generally, and the Mississippi Innocence Project, of which I am the director. (1) First of all, clarkkent writes that "while the Innocence Project (IP) highly publicizes the instances in which DNA exonerates a defendant, no one ever hears about the hundreds in which DNA solidifies their convictions . . . IP does hundreds of investigations yearly and by far the great majority of the convictions stand." We do indeed publicize exonerations. We do so because we think that they are compelling stories and illustrative of problems that continue to plague the criminal justice system -- problems which we believe are tractable and, to the extent that they are addressed, are of enormous benefit to our clients, victims and the general public. It's not precisely true to claim that we do not publicize DNA-solidified convictions. To begin with, our office has consistently and publicly maintained the overall value of DNA -- not just for its role in exonerations, but also for its usefulness to law enforcement. We do so because the facts speak for themselves: as DNA technology increases, so does the usefulness to law enforcement, particularly in solving "cold cases." I myself wrote an op ed piece for the Clarion Ledger earlier this year which, among other things, claimed exactly these points. And lastly on this point, we put our money where our mouth is. In many, many of the cases nationwide that ended in exoneration -- the true perpetrator was apprehended through DNA testing. We publicize this fact often; it is highlighted as a link on the Innocence Project's website. This is precisely what occurred in Noxubee County. We exonerated Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks, and because of our work and insistence on DNA testing -- over prosecutorial objection -- we identified the true perpetrator. He is locked up and awaiting trial. In sum, to claim that we do not publicize the value of DNA convictions or usefulness is not true -- we do so as a philosophical and daily litigation practice. (2) clarkkent writes: "[Hayne] is definitely not incompetent . . . IP has an agenda to discredit Hayne and thereby attack every murder conviction (not just those involving DNA) in MS for over the last 15 years." Incompetent can be a mostly subjective term. I would attach it without reservation to much of the work that Dr. Hayne performs. He testified in the Brewer and Brooks cases that he concurred in the finding of bite marks made by Mr. Brooks and Mr. Brewer and that certain wounds were made peri as opposed to post mortem. He was wrong on both counts. An independent panel of forensic pathologists -- who have no axe to grind with Dr. Hayne and who were not compensated for their work -- so concluded. Unanimously. The eventual DNA result corroborated the lack of involvement of Brewer and Brooks, as did the arrest and subsequent confession of the true perpetrator who also stated that he did not bite the victims. The state moved to exonerate fully Mr. Brooks and Mr. Brewer of any involvement. Dr. Hayne's testimony was repudiated by the Mississippi Supreme Court in the Tyler Edmunds case. There are numerous other examples of Dr. Hayne's incompetence detailed in our filing with the state medical licensure board. And I can say with authority that these examples and the others that we documented are only the tip of the iceberg of the damage that Dr. Hayne has caused in criminal trials over the years. We are working on tens of other cases in this office. Dr. Hayne engages in far more autopsies yearly than is recommended by any licensing body. He is not licensed by the recognized national governing body of pathologists -- which is why he is unqualified as a legal matter to hold the position of state medical examiner. This office has no per se agenda to discredit Dr. Hayne. We do work to uncover and, to the extent possible, rectify instances of forensic fraud. Such instances are illustrated in the cases I cited above, as well as others. And, finally, this office has no interest -- not to mention the time or resources -- to attack every murder conviction for the past 15 years. Indeed, one of the byproducts of our efforts in investigating and uncovering cases of actual innocence is ultimately to build greater confidence in the criminal justice system itself -- including, but not limited to, the convictions in which we do not become involved. (3) Finally, clarkkent writes "Our justice system is not perfect, but there are tools in place to correct some mistakes. I say some because if a guilty person is acquitted there is no way to correct that." There are some tools in place. We could fairly easily put into place others -- and we should -- because they can right egregious wrongs for innocent incarcerated and for victims and their families. The belief that a mistake has been made when a guilty person is acquitted is an erroneous one. No doubt guilty persons do go free. But -- and assuming a fairly tried case by both prosecution and defense -- that is an example of our nation's justice system working, not failing. No one says that living with such a system is always easy, but guaranteeing constitutional protection to all of us -- even those accused of crimes -- is no simple task. But it is the task that we as a nation have set for ourselves. We ought to try and live up to it.

"In a 1,000-page formal allegation released Tuesday, Innocence Project Co-director Peter Neufeld said Hayne is a major cause of the imprisonment of innocent people in Mississippi." Who "released" that, and to whom? One of the ways in which the criminal justice system fails is in its reluctance -- no, outright refusal -- to address the issue of fairness to both sides in criminal cases. It is a common tactic for unscrupulous persons representing criminal defendants to manipulate the media into publishing any number of things which would be inadmissible during a trial in order to taint the jury pool before the jurors are even summoned to court, thus subverting the judicial process. So it is with the current attack on Dr. Hayne by the Innocence Project. If that organization truly believed that someone should be presumed innocent until the proof is in, they would litigate their case against Dr. Hayne in silence and let the legal/medical process run its course before going public as they have. I'm not talking about the criminal cases in which they have achieved a final determination; they deserve credit for finding justice -- when they do; and RESULTS of that should be broadcast. In "releasing" their manifesto against Dr. Hayne, however, they have tainted the process by putting pressure on whoever will be considering their complaint. That is unprofessional, and, in my opinion, unethical if it is being done by lawyers or doctors. It is no different than a certain mayor's lawyers calling a press gathering at a time when his criminal case was under a gag order from the court in which it was docketed and bringing in some guy from Texas and introducing him as part of the defendant's legal team and then giving him the microphone and letting him launch into a dissertation on what a great guy his "client" is and how he would never do such a thing as that with which he was charged. There was no way the State could get a fair trial in that case. Obviously, the strategy worked, but that doesn't make it right; it doesn't make it ethical; and it surely doesn't make it just. Oh, and by the way, that guy never did go to court for that trial. It was obviously just a publicity stunt. As to Dr. Hayne, he has been the pathologist in literally dozens of homicide cases I have personally prosecuted on behalf of the state, and his work has been above reproach. He is competent, intelligent, and somewhat glib. He is an excellent witness who is able to assist juries in making factual determinations about the cause and manner of death. What readers should be wondering is: Where is the Innocence Project when these homicide cases are being tried? Why aren't they bringing in their more competent experts to dispute Dr. Hayne's conclusions when it would do their poor, innocent clients some good and prevent them from going to prison in the first place? Why don't they give juries an opportunity to hear a contrary opinion upon which to base their verdict? The answer to that last two questions is: Because they can't. They can't because Dr. Hayne is generally dead on, if you'll pardon the expression (or even if you won't). This is not to say that he is superhuman and doesn't ever make a mistake, but rather that his medical work would withstand the kind of scrutiny that his critics suggest. Those critics are so busy trying to get people out of jail that they've lost sight of the pivotal issue of guilt or innocence. Case in point, the Innocence Project is trying to require Mississippi's twenty-two district attorneys to take on the impossible (in terms of available resources to do it) task of going back and pulling every case in which Dr. Hayne has ever been involved and providing them with certain documents from those files. (The actual request is for "any public record held by your office connected to autopsies conducted by Dr. Steven Hayne at any facility operated by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety's Mississippi Crime Laboratory...system.") It doesn't matter to them whether or not the defendant was convicted, or even if a trial was held in the matter. So I guess the answer to the first question posed above is: They are probably out trying to create busy work for prosecutors in order to distract them from doing the job of protecting the truly innocent citizens -- crime victims, that is -- from their clients. No, our system of justice isn't perfect, but it's survived for a couple of centuries because it's as close as one can get.

By the way, I should have mentioned in the earlier post that if it was the medical licensing board (to which the complaint was made by IP) who "released" the publicity about Dr. Hayne, then I am willing to be corrected on that.

"Once a person is convicted by a jury there is no longer a question as to guilt."-clarkkent I disagree with this statement. If a jury is presented with erroneous and coerced evidence by prosecutors then a verdict can clearly be wrong. Many defendants are innocent of what they have been convicted of depending on what has been passed off as fact to a jury and what shenanegans have been pulled by the prosecutors. Clearly prosecutors many times scheme and plan and twist the facts to get a win. Pulling the wool over a jury is not as difficult as it should be. I'm working with a child who was falsely convicted of murder due to coerced and purjured testimony presented to a jury not to mention a boatload of other civil violations perpetrated upon him. I wish your statement were true because we would all sleep better at night, but it simply is not. In the case of the child I am supporting, the prosecutors went after the highest charge they thought they could get away with even though it wasn't the truth. When you are dealing with indigent juveniles and a broken public defender system, it's not hard to do.

Tucker, after reading your lengthy response I noticed that in far too many words you admitted that you do not publicize the many, many cases in which DNA does confirm the guilt of your clients. You did say that the truly guilty party is sometimes discovered as a result of your investigations but you never admitted that the vast majority of the time your CLIENT is in fact confirmed as the guilty party. I guess that's as close as I will get to an admission from a smooth talking defense lawyer. PSW is right on point with his response. BTW, I am not Forrest. Savebrettjones, if you re-read my earlier blog you will see that what I meant was from a judges standpoint once a person is found guilty, he is guilty as far as sentencing is concerned. The judge should then sentence the person and be through with it. Just as if the jury had found the person not guilty the judge would release the defendant. I am sorry that you feel that the youth was improperly found guilty but I'm sure that the jury got to hear all the evidence that the judge found relevant and found the youth guilty. If in fact they found him guilty of murder they obviously felt that self-defense was not a proper defense and also that his actions rose above that of manslaughter. I wonder if the defendant took the stand to explain to the jury his actions. I realize that he does not have to take the stand and his failure to do so cannot be held against him but in my experience no one can explain their actions better than the defendant themselves. No one is better suited to sort out the truth than a jury. Finally, the last paragraph of Tucker's blog is quite revealing. Based upon the words he wrote, he has no problem with a guilty person being set free. This should offend everyone almost as much as the conviction of an innocent person. But true to defense lawyer form, it's just part of the game for Tucker. He has either forgotten or doesn't care that for every guilty person that goes free there is either a victim and/or victim's family that must live with this for the rest of their lives in addition to future possible victims is the defendant decides to continue his/her evil ways. Take a look at that last paragraph. Defendants are painted as victims when they are wrongly convicted. And I agree that they are victims. But when a guilty person is set free, the victims are just collateral damage to him. This makes me sick. And it should make every decent person feel the same way.

yes, clark, the 15 year old boy with an 8th grade education and no criminal past who had spent the previous 9 months trying to survive in the Tupelo County Detention Center (the youngest one there) did testify on his own behalf. He was the only defense witness. Obviously he didn't do well. I can't imagine why.

an btw Clark, since "Dr" Hayne testified in the Brett Jones case that he knew what a defensive wound looked like I'm just wondering, do you know if there is any scientific evidence to back that up? Or is that just conjecture and opinion?

Finally, the last paragraph of Tucker's blog is quite revealing. Based upon the words he wrote, he has no problem with a guilty person being set free. I'm not sure he meant it in that context. I could be wrong, of course, but what I think Tucker meant was, for instance, there are defendants who are found innocent, though the evidence would point to a guilty verdict. The O.J. Simpson verdict is a clear example of that, at least among those who thought he was guilty and thus, got away with murder. But there is nothing we can do about that. To retry a person already found innocent for the same crime is double jeopardy and that's unconstitutional.

SaveBrett, the fact that the defendant was 15 does not make the victim any less dead. And obviously his lack of education did not hamper his use of the weapon which took the victim's life. Obviously his account of his actions did not convince the jury that he acted in self-defense according to the laws in Mississippi. You must remember that Hayne gives his opinion as an expert. Yes defensive wounds are real. They are not conjecture. Defensive wounds are usually found on the arms and palms of hands. They are called defensive wounds because the arms and hands are used to protect the head and torso from danger (such as a knife, gun, etc). Golden, Tucker is an intelligent man, if he wanted to convey the sentiments that you did then he would have. The statement, "The belief that a mistake has been made when a guilty person is acquitted is an erroneous one. No doubt guilty persons do go free. But -- and assuming a fairly tried case by both prosecution and defense -- that is an example of our nation's justice system working, not failing. No one says that living with such a system is always easy, but guaranteeing constitutional protection to all of us -- even those accused of crimes -- is no simple task. But it is the task that we as a nation have set for ourselves. We ought to try and live up to it." To define a guilty person going free as merely "erroneous" is insane. Furthermore, to go on to say that it is an example of the system working is sick and hypocritical. That is the equivalent of saying that if an innocent person is convicted by overwhelming compelling evidence then the system works. That's poppycock! I'm from the old school in that the sytems works when the innocent is acquitted and the guilty are convicted and punished. Tucker showed his hand in that thread and I hope that each of you saw it. I certainly did. So golden, if you want to believe that he really did mean what he said you go ahead and believe that. But as for me, IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK, QUACK LIKES A DUCK AND LOOKS LIKE A DUCK THEN IT'S A DUCK.

Clark, in Edmonds v Mississippi, the Supreme Court stated: "there was no showing that Dr. Hayne's testimony was based not on opinion or speculations but rather on scientific methods and procedures." Based on that information, what scientific methods or procedures did Dr. Hayne provide as a basis for his opinion that certain wounds on a victim's hands were defensive? By simply examining a wound, is it possible to determine whether it was obtained while being attacked or being the attacker? Medically speaking, are the characteristics of a defensive wound different than the characteristics of an offensive wound if these wounds were examined side by side? Or is that determined only by the location of the wound; on the back of a hand or palm of a hand or arm? Could a victim's hands be in a fist in the act of punching another person when he obtained the "defensive knife wound"? Or did Dr. Hayne base his conclusions that the wounds on the victim's hands were defensive because once again it fit the prosecution's theory? Calling a wound defensive is an opinion, not a scientifically based conclusion. A person can't possibly know unless they were there by examining a wound if it was defensive or offensive in nature. Did Dr. Hayne have scientific studies or statistics or conclusions that would cause him to determine whether a wound was obtained by being attacked or being the attacker yet he gave his opinion as fact based on scientific proof of some sort. Clark, you have stated that wounds found on the arms and palms of hands are usually defensive. Where is your scientific proof? Are there any statistics on that or is it just a foregone conclusion? (Btw, in this case the wounds were not on the palms, they were on the back of the victim's hands. He was throwing punches at the child, could he have gotten the stab wounds on his hands and arms coming down on the child delivering punches as the boy claims?) Also, it seems an experienced, careful, hard working forensic pathogist would have tested brain tissue or at least perserved brain tissue of the victim in light of the family reporting mental degeneration and violent outbursts; especially in a case involving a 15 year old being charged with capital murder carrying a life sentence who is claiming self defense and family including the widow is reporting rages, mental degeneration and violent outbursts in the victim prior to his death. To this day the family of the victim including the widow, believes that the victim was the attacker and back the boy 100%. The prosecution used Dr. Hayne to put forth his "expert" opinion to the jury on who was being attacked by who based on his examination of the wounds. That coupled with coerced and purjured testimony of an abused, lying 15 year old runaway under threat of indictment was the reason this boy was convicted of capital murder. Neither witness being credible. There are guidelines as to what an expert is qualified to put forth to a jury as clarified by the Mississippi Supreme Court in the Edmonds case and clearly Dr. Hayne goes outside those guidelines.

"And obviously his lack of education did not hamper his use of the weapon which took the victim's life." Clark, there was no weapon ever linked to the boy, the crime or the body. It was not even determined what kind of knife was used or who used the knife because no evidence was ever tested. All evidence including knives was returned after 9 months from the Mississippi State crime lab with original seals still in place and the explanation that they hadn't had time to test any evidence before the murder trial. Furthermore, Dr. Hayne's autopsy never went into any details about the wounds and what sort of knife could have been used to make the wounds (serrated, dull, etc). His autopsy was lazy and done on the surface only, no indepth study of the wounds and no tissue samples taken from the brain. It was a circumstancial autopsy where Dr. Hayne made the the autopsy fit the circumstances.
