McGee Review Finds Convictions Fair

A damning review of six murder convictions tied to former medical examiner Dr. Michael McGee reveals shaky testimony but no overturned verdicts—despite a federal judge calling his work “unreliable.” Three outside experts found flaws in McGee’s phrasing, which leaned too heavily into legal conclusions, but upheld the core findings. The county spent nearly $400K on the review, sparked by a high-profile case where McGee’s testimony led to a death sentence being overturned. In one case still under review, findings are being shared with defense; in the other six, prosecutors stand by the convictions as “fair and just.” The review also aims to reshape how prosecutors train with medical experts—ensuring they inform, not dictate, jury outcomes.
