How likely is it that the police deliberately steered the case to a corrupt pathologist with the intention of having him falsify his autopsy? A heart attack doesn't seem that far fetched. What I don't understand is why the heart attack should make a difference. Wasn't the heart attack obviously precipitated by the attack? He didn't just up and have a heart attack because PC Harwood looked at him. Also, why no charge of assault causing bodily harm or the English equivalent? At least he could go to jail for that.
