How Autopsies Hide Police Violence in LA
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Southern California may be the land of dreams but like other parts of the country, the region has its share of law enforcement misconduct, including autopsy reports that hide the truth about people who die in police custody. In his book The Coroner’s Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence, UCLA Professor Terence Keel investigates how coroners and medical examiners omit key information about police actions — often attributing the death to a preexisting health condition or to the victim’s own actions. As a result, justice is denied to victims’ families and communities. In this episode of SoCal Voices, Professor Keel explains the systemic problems that allow this injustice to occur, and the structural and other changes needed to achieve real reform.
