Just a reminder:

In his initial post AZKC was using his immense knowledge and superiority to everyone as a means of insulting, deriding and criticizing the MEDICAL EXAMINER'S office. He wasn't criticizing a prosecutor or the idea of prosecution. In other words he was applying his medical expertise not his legal acumen.

Therefor, I'm just not sure what proving causation beyond a reasonable doubt or the year and a day rule has to do with the contention that this was grandstanding by the ME.

Nothing, I suspect.

What the fuck makes you think I posted that because of what you or Chuck said?

If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. - Federalist 51
