Derek Chauvin Defense Expert Accused Of Cover-up In Eerily Similar Case
Dr. David Fowler, the former Maryland chief medical examiner who testified on behalf of the defense in the Derek Chauvin trial, is facing a federal lawsuit in Maryland in connection to a similar case. According to Yahoo News, the lawsuit alleges that Fowler and the medical examiner overseeing the autopsy of 19-year-old Anton Black purposely covered up for police by ignoring evidence that Black died of asphyxia and trumping up other factors that coincided with police narratives. Black died in 2018 while in police custody after officers with the Greensboro Police Department and other nearby agencies allegedly kept their weight on Black for several minutes after he was handcuffed. Fowler served as a chief medical examiner in Maryland for 17 years before he retired in 2019. As an expert witness in the Chauvin trial, Fowler testified that he would have ruled Floyd's cause of death as "undetermined" as opposed to a homicide.
