Pathological: The Work of Dr. Charles Smith

Exoneree Tammy Marquardt was a guest on an episode of the podcast “Darts & Letters.” The episode focused on the disgraced Charles Smith who performed autopsies on children at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, ON. He repeatedly concluded, without scientific basis, that child deaths were the result of foul play. In 2008, a public inquiry found evidence of errors in 20 of the 45 autopsies he performed. Smith’s conclusions played a role in 13 known wrongful convictions.
