When we focused on the Death Investigations film, it was a lot of the medical examiners making mistakes and police officers taking a better look at the investigation at hand. The coroners were straight up making mistakes due to the lack of knowledge of forensic science. This article, also extremely frustrating explains how the Chicago Police Department is “crunching numbers” in order to show how the homicide rates have decreased from year to year. Both problems are huge issues but one is an issue of qualification and one is an issue of truth. This is terrible to me! There are several cases that clearly are homicides and the medical examiner even says on the death certificate that it is a homicide but the police report it as a death investigation and not a murder investigation.
