The New York Times released this "preliminary autopsy report" by Dr. Baden, retired chief ME for NYC and now autopsier-for-hire, preferably to the stars (a la Cyril Wecht).

His 'report' is really just the face sheet, a piece of paper with the standard anatomy position view, the entry/exit wounds detailed, and some handwritten scribbles. Dr. Baden is also commenting extensively to the media re: his findings before, you know, tox and micro and histology and all that, and before going to court.
Oh, and his assistant is a diener who has elevated himself to the title of "Professor," previously in hot water for performing autopsies without pathology supervision and inventing a boatload of falsified credentials for himself.

So my question is: What on earth? Is this kosher?!
