Dr Khalid Jaber (66), who now lives in the Middle East, is not attending the inquiry and has had little engagement with the Medical Council since 2018 about the case after he had written highly colourful and vitriolic letters in which he sharply criticised his former colleagues in the Office of the State Pathologist, the DPP and some members of the judiciary
A former deputy State pathologist gave evidence at a murder trial which had the potential to cause a miscarriage of justice which was “dangerous in the extreme”, a medical inquiry has heard.
Dr William Lawler OBE, a former Home Office pathologist in the UK, told a fitness-to-practise hearing being held by the Medical Council of Ireland that he believed that Dr Khalid Jaber had given evidence to a jury trial about the mechanism of death of a victim which had no evidential basis.
