đź’¨ Abstract

An audit of Maryland autopsies revealed at least 36 in-custody deaths that were misclassified. Instead of being identified as homicides, these cases were overlooked, suggesting potential misconduct. The findings highlight significant concerns about the processes in place for determining the causes of these deaths. Released on May 15, 2025, this report underscores the need for a thorough review of such cases to ensure accountability and justice.
