## Resource

Last week, Madison’s Office of the Independent Police Monitor released a new finding: that police violence played a role in the death of a man in custody in 2024, contrary to the county’s medical examiner’s autopsy report. To talk about the place of medical examiners in the criminal justice system, host Dana Pellebon is joined by scholar, Terence Keel, author of The Coroner's Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence.
