Attorney for Trayvon Martin Medical Examiner Claims He Was Told to ‘Shut Up’

Dr. Shiping Bao, the associate medical examiner in the Trayvon Martin case who was fired last week, is preparing a $100 million dollar lawsuit over wrongful firing.

His attorney alleges that Dr. Bao was scapegoated because Florida state prosecutors deliberately threw the case.

Dr. Bao was prepared to offer proof that Martin was not the aggressor, according to local Channel 9 (WFTV).

Watch here:

Dr. Bao’s attorney Willie Gary alleges that the medical examiner, state attorney’s office, and Sanford Police Department were all biased against Trayvon Martin. Gary told Channel 9, “He says their general attitude was that he got what he deserved. He was in essence told to zip his lips. ‘Shut up. Don’t say those things.'”

Gary claimed that prosecutors never asked Dr. Bao a question crucial to the case, which would have allowed Dr. Bao to offer proof that there was no way that Trayvon Martin was ever on top of Mr. Zimmerman.

The state prosecutor’s office called Dr. Bao’s allegations unconscionable.
