• Defense: Fbi Falsified Probable Cause Affidavit

Attorneys for Dr. Cyril H. Wecht on Monday called for charges against the former coroner to be dismissed, accusing prosecutors and the FBI of a cover-up "in a win-at-all-costs attitude.

Trial court did not inappropriately use defendant-appellant’s post-trial silence against him when applying the sentencing guidelines. The sente...
