The death of “fact”?

Apparently, all that time on beautiful beaches has fried their brains.

A Bahamian jury determined that Anna Nicole Smith's son died as a result of an accidental drug overdoes.   The kick in the crotch here is that a jury was responsible for determining "fact" regardless of what was actually documented by a coroner.  Clearly, what is fact and what is fiction now requires the deliberation of our peers, rather than hard scientific evidence.  Pretty soon, a medical examiner's decision that a person is dead will be overturned by a jury — even with the person six feet under.  "Nope, Bob is still alive, by a vote of 11 to one."  Mark my words.
