The coroner, John E. Meyer, M.D., had no experience with stun guns and the marks they leave.

When the BPD first went to Coroner Dobersen, they didn't show him all the photos and he was unable to identify the marks as being from a stun gun - - but when he later saw more photos, curtesy of Lou Smit - he thought testing was indicated to prove the marks WERE from a stun gun.

He later went on TV and said - “Unless some other evidence is presented to me, the most likely explanation for those injuries is that they were caused by a stun gun.”

Now what does Dobersen say? He says - - - well, I will let him say it:

MIKE DOBERSEN - "My experiments, and the observations that we made and all the work that's been done, I feel that I can testify to a reasonably degree of medical certainty that these are stun gun injuries."
