Look at the jail where a simple fix following 2012 flood would have prevented it blowing up in 2014! Wouldn’t be first time we tried to save money and ended up costing much more!

I know she made a lot of money, but is she out of line with other medical examiners doing the same level of work and with the same record of efficiency and accuracy? What is the target price for these services? Is there already someone identified to take her place (doesn’t sound like it). Forensic examination of the dead (and please realize it’s not like TV, all forensics are painstaking and laborious processes. You don’t just walk up and say “yep, he’s dead.”), no matter the state of decomposition, is very difficult. You also have to provide reliable evidence and testimony that will stand up in criminal proceedings. What I haven’t heard is what exactly the county is looking for in a medical examiner that they’re not getting. I’m confused.

Ya'll were lucky to have this women work here. Good luck you will not find anyone as competent, compassionate or as kind as Dr. Minyard. She has contributed greatly to the communities she served and has been gracious with public service. They ain't paying NO WOMAN more than a man gets around here.
