Former deputy State pathologist's evidence to murder trial 'dangerous in the extreme', fitness to practise inquiry hears
Briefly

Dr. William Lawler OBE testified during the Medical Council inquiry that Dr. Khalid Jaber’s evidence in a jury trial regarding the mechanism of death was fundamentally flawed, lacking any evidential basis. He described the situation as "dangerous in the extreme," suggesting that this could lead to grave miscarriages of justice. Lawler emphasized the significant risks posed by unreliable testimonies in legal proceedings, highlighting the potential consequences for the judicial system as a whole.
Since 2018, Dr. Khalid Jaber has been notably disengaged from any communications with the Medical Council regarding his former case, despite having previously expressed his criticisms through "highly colourful and vitriolic letters." His lack of participation in the current hearing raises concerns about accountability and transparency, showcasing a broader issue within the medical and legal fields regarding the responsibility of professionals toward inquiries and potential malpractice.
