Local news sources in the metro Orlando Florida area are now reporting that Dr Shipping Bao, the ME of Trevon Martin in 2012 has been fired & is no longer a public service employee. The media reports Dr Bao left his post about a month ago but the agency just issued the formal press release.

Dr Bao testified in the 2013 criminal court trial of George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida. He seemed aloof & argued with both the judge and defense atty; Mark O'Meara over his medical data/case notes.
Doctor Bao stated under oath that he testified in over 22 different homicide cases over his medical career.

It's not a major surprise to me that Dr Bao was let go. He did not appear to be competent or ethical & it sounds like the Chief ME(Medical Examiner) had enough.
