Pathologist Michael Baden
Pathologist Michael Baden, who served as chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations' Forensic Pathology Panel that investigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy, is set to conduct an independent autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein.
"Epstein's representatives have hired celebrity pathologist Michael Baden to conduct an independent autopsy and they were allowed to observe the autopsy," reports the Daily Beast.
As chairman of the investigation into the JFK assassination, Baden bolstered the official story that Kennedy was killed by a single bullet, also known as the "magic bullet" theory.
Baden, whose career has revolved around investigating high profile deaths, also testified at the trials of OJ Simpson and Phil Spector.
Some are wondering whether having Baden carry out the autopsy is a good idea given the deluge of conspiracy theories circulating about Epstein's alleged "suicide."
"Of course, this may or may not mean anything at all," comments Vlad Tapes. But getting a coroner connected to these cases doesn't strike one as the way to lead to confidence in transparency of the process."
Baden already observed the official autopsy carried out on Epstein by Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson. The results of the autopsy have been delayed "pending further information at this time."

I also await that tiny snowball, a teetering domino, the last straw, some tipping point when people are finally fed up and do something .
Strangely his first wife, Judianne Densen-Gerber, died aged 68 in 2003, but Google says she is alive, aged 84 and an author
Gerber founded Odyssey House ... just another foundation dealing with drug addicts and abused kids
Doing a little digging ... let's see what we get ...Odyssey House got absorbed by Cenikor Foundation - [Link] Synanon - [Link] and more on Synanon - [Link]
Amazingly, this entire time, children were being sent to Synanon by local courts that believed Synanon was just the kind of tough love camp that at-risk youth needed. When kids would escape to the houses of neighbors on local ranches, the abuse inside was made pretty clear. But too often those kids would simply be returned to Synanon, to be abused again and again
Synanon's cult leader, Charles Dederich, was finally sentenced in September 1980 ... his punishment, due to "failing health" was 5 years probation - [Link]
The judge was William Hogoboom .. died 2003 .. was an expert on juvenile law (putting lots of kids into "care") - [Link]
Hogoboom was also the judge who, in 1977, refused to give Sirhan Sirhan permission to go back to the Ambassador Hotel. Sirhan wanted to go back in the hope that such a visit would revive his memory and help prove his innocence
