前教授周序申告赢纽约州立大学, 获陪审团判赔60万美元
华裔教授和学生告美国大学案例介绍
华裔验尸官鲍世平
曾为佛州被枪杀少年马丁验尸、并在齐默曼案件中作证的华裔验尸官鲍世平(Shiping Bao，译音)遭到佛州Volusia县政府解僱，他现在起诉前僱主民族歧视(Ethnic Discrimination)、错误终止雇用(Wrongful Termination)罪名, 并提出$100 million索赔请求。
综合CBS等媒体报道，Volusia县10日公布一封信件，表示上周已解僱鲍世平。发言人拜伦拒绝给出理由。但是怀疑这与鲍世平在齐默曼案中给出的口供前后不一有关。
鲍世平为Volusia县前副验尸官，来自中国，他自2011年7月开始为Volusia县工作，年薪17万5950元。
2012年2月，佛州少年马丁遭齐默曼枪杀，鲍世平负责验尸。去年7月，他在齐默曼案审讯时，却突然改变证词。
之前鲍世平曾表示，马丁遭枪击后1至3分钟死亡，但是他在法庭上却表示改变看法，称马丁遭枪击后可能又存活了1至10分钟。
另外，之前鲍世平表示，毒理检验显示马丁体内有大麻，但是并不足以对其造成身体或精神上的影响。而他后来在法庭上改口说，这些大麻或许会对其行为造成影响。
鲍世平告诉辩护律师韦斯特说，自己是在审讯前3周才改变看法。韦斯特质问他是否曾通知检方，鲍世平说没有。
鲍世平在法庭上表示，自己没发现改变看法有什么问题。他说：「如果你有新的信息、新的经验、你读了一本新书，你就改变看法。如果有人从不改变看法，你可以说他们智力低下。你永远学不到新东西，对吧？」
鲍世平说，他是根据另外一宗类似马丁案的案件而改变看法的。他说，自己是在阅读个人笔记时产生新的想法。但是当韦斯特要求阅读他的笔记时，他表示拒绝。
法官奈尔森于是命令鲍世平提交笔记，并告知他，双方律师都有权查看他所阅读的笔记。鲍世平于是从命，并且要求韦斯特尽快归还笔记。
许多观看齐默曼案件审讯的人都相信，鲍世平的证词十分关键。但是双方律师都打断他的证词，这或许是陪审团得出无罪结论的原因之一。
8月7日，鲍世平获得通知，要求他30日内提交辞职信，另谋高就。但是他没有照办。他随后遭解僱，9月6日生效。
鲍世平已经雇用了66岁的佛州名律师盖瑞为其打官司。鲍世平被解僱后，他的律师已经向美国平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）提交民族歧视投诉，目前EEOC正在就此进行调查。
华裔验尸官鲍世平的验尸报告。
工作时间不长, 很难积累足够证据建立指控. 本人有过佛州白人警察谎报事故地点以偏袒白人被告的经历(当时忍了).
旦愿Dr. Bao 留心已久,胜拳在手.
这个验尸官不专业，不诚实。现在尸体没有了吧，无有对证！
作为验尸官证词反复是比较严重的，你必须提供能得出改变的新线索，而不是opinion变来变去。如果是受到政治压力作伪证，那事情就更大了（解雇案的论据似乎暗示这种可能）。
不过还是希望他能胜诉！
您说得对! 美国国会议员的工资是$174,000.
Position Salary
Vice President $230,700
Delegates to the House of Representatives $174,000
Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico $174,000
President pro tempore of the Senate $193,400
Majority leader and minority leader of the Senate $193,400
Majority leader and minority leader of the House of Representatives $193,400
Speaker of the House of Representatives $223,500
验尸官的工资是由所工作的县制订的, 富的县,尸体多的县工资就高。美国国会议员的工资是由联邦政府制订的, 所以工资都是一样的。
Victor Swift, a Stuart attorney, said Dr. Shiping Bao, a native of China who performed the autopsy on Trayvon Martin, is being blamed for mistakes in the state’s case against Zimmerman. Bao, who lives in Port Orange, earned $176,000 per year.
“Why should the Chinese-American guy get fired and all the white people who worked on the case, none of them got fired,” Swift said.
Documents from the county indicate that officials had expected him to resign. When Bao did not, he was terminated.
County spokesman Dave Byron said the county would have nothing to say on the matter.
“Because this is a personnel matter, the county as a standard practice will have no comment,” Byron wrote in an email.
County officials met with Bao to discuss the “status of his employment” on Aug. 7, 2013, about a month after his testimony, and gave him 30 days of personal leave to find another job, which was consistent with other employees leaving the county, according to a letter dated Aug. 23, 2013, from George Recktenwald, the county’s director of Public Protection. The meeting was requested by Medical Examiner Dr. Marie Herrmann, according to the letter from Recktenwald, who wrote it was also attended by Deputy Director Terry Sanders.
It was agreed that Bao was going to submit a letter of resignation “on or before” the 13th day, Recktenwald wrote.
“In the absence of a letter of resignation your employment will end on Friday, Sept. 6, 2013,” Recktenwald wrote on Aug. 23.
Recktenwald wrote the action cannot be appealed.
Swift said the county told Bao he was being fired because of poor communication skills. Swift said no one had complained about his communication skills when he was hired.
Swift also said that Bao’s workplace started to become hostile once he began work on the Martin case.
Bao started working with the county on July 30, 2011, and his last evaluation on record covered a one-year period ending July 30, 2012. Bao received a score of 87 which placed him in the “Exceeds Expectations” range of 80 to 95.
The evaluation signed by Herrmann and Recktenwald said that Bao cooperates with co-workers and completes assignments in a timely manner.
“Dr. Bao is thorough in his casework and formulates logical and defensible cause of death opinions; researches the literature as needed on unusual findings,” the evaluation states.
It also states that at the time Bao had not yet had any cases go to trial locally but that he routinely explained his findings to law enforcement and attorneys.
Swift said that, since the firing, attorneys have filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Bao’s behalf claiming ethnic discrimination and wrongful termination. Complaint documents were not available Tuesday.
Bao received national attention, including a short-lived popularity on Twitter when he testified during George Zimmerman’s trial on second-degree murder charges for killing Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted.
During the trial, defense attorney Don West questioned Bao about his findings in Martin’s autopsy. Bao had initially estimated that Martin lived from one to three minutes after Zimmerman shot him. But on the stand in July, Bao said he had changed his opinion and that Martin had lived from one to 10 minutes.
Bao interrupted West at times.
“Today you said that it would be one to 10 minutes so your opinion has changed . . .” West said.
“Opinion always can be changed,” Bao said.
Judge Debra Nelson told Bao to let West finish his question. But a few moments later Bao lectured West about opinions.
“First, I need to explain to you what is opinion,” Bao said. “OK, opinion can be changed. That’s why you ask jury to be open minded to have open mind. Opinion there is no truth or false, just right or wrong, if you have new information, if you have new experience, if you read a new book, you are changed opinion. If someone never change opinion, you can call mental retarded. You never learn, right.”
Bao told West he had changed his opinion three weeks before the trial because of a more recent case similar to Martin’s.
“Did you contact the State Attorney’s Office to tell them that you had changed your opinion on that important matter?” West asked.
“No, I did not,” Bao said.
Swift said on Tuesday that Bao had eight points he wanted to make during the trial but was blocked by prosecutors from State Attorney Angela Corey’s office of the 4th Judicial Circuit in Jacksonville. Swift said Bao wanted to testify that Martin was not on top of Zimmerman. He also wanted to say that the amount of marijuana in Martin’s system would have made him less aggressive.
Corey’s spokeswoman, Jackelyn Barnard, wrote in an email that “The State Attorney’s Office has no administrative responsibility for the office in which Dr. Bao worked.”
Swift said Bao was stunned by the firing.
“It was quite a shock to him,” Swift said.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. —
Dr. Shiping Bao's testimony raised eyebrows during the George Zimmerman trial.
"I believe it is my opinion that Trayvon Martin was in a lot of pain, and that he was suffering," Bao said July 5 during testimony in the George Zimmerman trial.
On the stand, Dr. Bao changed his testimony about key statements he'd made and said he'd changed his mind about Martin only being alive for as many as three minutes after the shooting.
"I believe he was alive one to 10 minutes after he was shot. His heart was beating until there was no blood left," Bao said.
Dr. Bao is dropping another bombshell -- his attorney is preparing a $100 million lawsuit.
Through his high-profile attorney, he claims the medical examiner, state attorney's office, and Sanford Police Department were all biased against Martin.
"He says their general attitude was that he got what he deserved," Attorney Willie Gary told Channel 9.
Gary said Dr. Bao was made to be a scapegoat and was wrongfully fired from the medical examiner's office. He said his client was prepared to offer proof that Martin was not the aggressor.
"He was in essence told to zip his lips. 'Shut up. Don't say those things,'" Gary said.
Gary said prosecutors never asked Dr. Bao a question crucial to their case.
"He wanted a question that would have allowed him to explain to the jury with scientific evidence how there was no way Trayvon Martin could have been on top of George Zimmerman," Gary said.
Gary said that question never came.
Dr. Shiping Bao, the recently fired Florida medical examiner who performed Trayvon Martin‘s autopsy, is allegedly claiming that George Zimmerman shot Martin through the back, reports Alternet’s Rod Bastanmehr.
“According to the former assistant coroner, the results of Martin’s autopsy clearly showed that, despite Zimmerman’s statements regarding their altercation, there was no feasible way for Martin to have been on top of Zimmerman when the gun was fired, because the bullet entered Martin’s back,” Alternet reports.
This allegation is shocking (and dubious) for several reasons, including the fact that Martin having been shot through the heart at close range was a pivotal point during the trial as both the defense and prosecution teams attempted to paint a picture of the fatal encounter — specifically, whom was the aggressor during the altercation.
More importantly, Bao himself signed off on Trayvon Martin’s autopsy report stating that the entrance wound was through the chest at “intermediate range.”
If these allegations are true, that would make Bao complicit in the very same alleged cover-up that he has exposed.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Bao claims that Florida state prosecutors were biased against Trayvon Martin and purposely threw the case, and he is suing the state for $100 million.
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 subtle, 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, legendary Attorney Willie Gary.
Bao’s allegations come swiftly on the heels of him being fired from his position as associate medical examiner.
Volusia County released a letter on Tuesday, stating that Bao was fired last week. Spokesman Dave Byrondeclined to give a reason for Bao’s termination, citing “county standard personnel practices,” reports CBS News.
