Medical Examiner: Marijuana Could Have Made Brown Act ‘In A Crazy Way’

The medical examiner who conducted an autopsy on Michael Brown says that marijuana could have made the 18-year-old act “in a crazy way.”

The Brown family hired Dr. Michael Baden to conduct an independent autopsy on Brown, who was fatally shot by Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9.

Baden’s autopsy was conducted on Sunday, and he announced his findings on Monday. Also on Monday, The Washington Post reported that an autopsy conducted by St. Louis County medical examiner Mary Case found marijuana in Brown’s system.

The finding prompted Fox News host Greta van Susteren to ask Baden what effect marijuana could have had on Brown.

“Does the fact that they found marijuana, does that exclude the fact that there might be other drugs in his system, or even if the marijuana was laced with anything. … I mean, is that the final analysis or could there be more information to come in terms of the toxicology?”

Baden said that he had not seen the toxicology report itself, but he provided background information on how marijuana might affect someone.

“Very important with marijuana is the levels of the different drugs that are present in marijuana to have an opinion as to whether or not he might have been affected by the marijuana so that he may have been acting in a crazy way and may have done things to the police officer that normally he would not have done,” he told van Susteren.
