NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Autopsy results obtained by CNN show a retarded man was shot in the back when he was killed by New Orleans police in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

This contradicts testimony by a police sergeant that the victim had turned toward officers and was reaching into his waistband when shot.

"Clearly he was shot from behind," said famed New York pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who examined the body for the family's lawyer.

my heart cries for his family.

"A prosecutor said the case will go before a grand jury soon and acknowledged the investigation includes the possibility of police wrong-doing." 5 bullet entry holes in back=police wrong-doing? Yes, it was chaos, rumors rampant, communication nil, still. So sad for all involved.

Be nice too when they can ID all the bodies.
Edited to add picture of brother, "Police question Lance Madison after an altercation on a bridge, in which Ronald Madison was shot."


I am willing to say that the situation was really bad, but not willing to say it was bad enough for this, esp after seeing the pictures of him and his brother and the police.

This is just the beginning...
