Why Nolan Wells' Medical Examiner Is Under Fire

Mississippi's chief medical examiner is facing scrutiny that goes far beyond the Nolan Wells case — and that scrutiny is exactly why the Wells family has no reason to trust whatever her autopsy says, even if the science is perfect.Dr. Staci Turner ruled a 2021 in-custody death "undetermined" after documenting injuries consistent with compression by deputies. Three independent pathologists — recruited by the New York Times and Mississippi Today — reviewed the same evidence and unanimously called it homicide. The grand jury used Turner's finding and filed no charges. One of the deputies is now in federal prison for the "Goon Squad" torture cases out of the same Rankin County Sheriff's Department.Turner also affirmed the official ruling on Trey Reed, a Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University. That family disputes the finding. A Change.org petition is now demanding an independent investigation into Turner's office.The pattern reaches beyond any one case. A sheriff who called Nolan's death no foul play before the autopsy existed. A DA who sealed the results behind a grand jury with no date. A governor who accused the family's attorney of stoking division. A medical examiner whose biggest prior ruling was contradicted by three experts. That's the framework — and it's the reason every family in the chain has hired its own pathologist.
