I get to review lots of great stuff for Chapter 16, but Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington’s powerful The Cadaver King and The Country Dentist is one I’m especially grateful to know. This true story involves the corrupt history of the Mississippi death investigations system and the consequences of allowing lax standards for expert testimony into our courtrooms. I’d recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about how corrupt systems operate and how poisoned legacies don’t just evaporate but instead keep wreaking havoc until we have the courage to go on digging until we hit the true sources of the trouble. My review’s up today; you can read it here at Chapter 16.
