BEAUMONT, TX (KTRE) - 12/25/2013
During a press conference in Beaumont Friday morning, a Houston forensic pathologist hired to perform a second autopsy on Alfred Wright's body, said that she disagrees with the preliminary findings from the first official autopsy.
Lee Ann Grossberg, who was hired by the legal team representing Alfred Wright's family, said even though Wright's body was found in an advanced state of decomposition, there was enough physical trauma to suggest some type of homicidal violence.
"Based on the investigation I have a high index of suspicion that this is a homicide," Grossberg said."I base that opinion on circumstances surrounding the death, how and where the body was found, and my findings at autopsy."
Ryan MacLeod, a former Galveston County prosecutor, says he feels law enforcement has mishandled the investigation.
<snip>Grossberg said that her thoughts are only a preliminary opinion. She added that she can't determine the cause and manner of death without further investigation. The forensic pathologist said she is still waiting on the pictures from the first autopsy, and she is having a hard time receiving them.Initial Autopsy report for Alfred Wright.
