Compensation for Malevolent Action?
The damage people do in their arrogant belief in self transcends belief. Former pathologist Dr. Charles Smith, now disgraced and charged with faulty, unprofessional and surely malevolent findings in the deaths of autopsied children should pay a price in excess of the shame brought upon him. Something roughly approximate to the dreadful price paid by innocents whose his autopsy results brought to direct charges through his testimony leading to years of incarceration for murders they did not commit.
How utterly obscene that this man who had no training in pathology, despite which he was able to rise through the ranks of forensic pathology as a respected and trusted member of the profession, felt his observations to be so valid that they rated as proof-positive of the guilt attributed to innocent people. A mother whose child died of natural causes, but the autopsy purported to point a finger of guilt on her. This forensic pathologist simply created evidence that was not in actual fact, there.
A mother convicted of infanticide, suffering the removal of another child from her care and placed for adoption by child welfare agencies, mouldering in a jail as the killer of her infant son. How to compensate for her mental anguish? Until finally justice caught up to Dr. Smith when it was revealed by a search into his professional conduct that he falsified evidence and was the direct cause of many innocents being convicted of unspeakable crimes against children.
Of course the fault does not lie solely with Dr. Smith. The former chief coroner for Ontario, Dr. James Young, and Dr. James Cairns, former deputy chief coroner, both of whom elevated Dr. Smith through the ranks to become the senior child death expert in Ontario through pediatric forensic pathology, are equally responsible for the tragedies their lack of oversight caused. All three men were predisposed to believe that children were wantonly murdered by those closest to them.
It was their gratuitous malicious mindset that was responsible for the false accusations, findings of guilt, and years of incarceration suffered by those brought to 'justice' through their professional misconduct.
