According to Bao, the medical examiner, state attorney’s office, and Sanford Police Department all felt that Martin “got what he deserved.” Bao also claims that he received the strong, though implicit, message not to speak on certain things:
“He was in essence told to zip his lips. ‘Shut up. Don’t say those things,'” said Bao’s legal counsel, Attorney Willie Gary.
Bao’s allegations come swiftly on the heels of him being fired from his position as associate medical examiner.
