Creepy County government supports DR. PREDRAG BULIC'S reappointment as Medical Examiner, spends your money defending his medical malpractice in Michelle O'Connell case?


Who believes guns recoil forward, or supports Dr. PREDRAG BULIC continuing as M.E.?

SNEAKY ST. JOHNS COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MICHAEL WANCHICK, et pal, 
ST. JOHNS COUNTY SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR

Stealthy St. Johns County Administrator MICHAEL DAVID WANCHICK filled out on April 21, 2017 an FDLE form, checking a box giving a "favorable" recommendation on reappointment of controversial Medical Examiner Dr. PREDRAG BULIC, M.D.   No discussion or debate took place about the important decision of who will serve as District 23 Medical Examiner.

In the Michelle O'Connell case, DR. BULIC and his staff concealed the revised autopsy report finding homicide, excluded mention of the broken jaw, while advancing a cockamamie theory that the gun recoiled backward, while botching the measurement of the gun, falsely claiming it caused an injury above Ms. O'Connell's eye when it recoiled backward.  BULIC recklessly and willfully allowed public access to Michelle's bare naked autopsy photos.

Dr. FREDERICK HOBIN has hired his own attorney (MEC wants six month suspension of DR. HOBIN and one year probation of Dr. BULIC).

But you're paying Dr. BULIC's legal defense in a proceeding before the Florida Medical Examiners' Commission, already delayed twice by County Attorney PATRICK FRANCIS McCORMACK's delay tactics in providing documents and demanding more time to answer the administrative complaint.  (BULIC is the highest paid county employee, paid $225,000 per year -- he should hire his own lawyer).

It's our money.

Remember who is wasting it -- every single one of your Commissioners supporting SHOAR, McCORMACK, WANCHICK, BULIC and HOBIN  is a registered Republican -- every single one.



Meanwhile, sneaky St. Johns County County Attorney PATRICK FRANCIS McCORMACK euchred somnambulistic Commissioners into rubber-stamping his representation of BULIC before the Florida Medical Examiners Commission.  Unethical McCORMACK got the "approval" without putting it on the agenda, sneaking it into County Attorney comments at the end of the March 21, 2017 meeting.  He also held one-on-one meetings with Commissioners.  This Sunshine violation stinks.



McORMACK and WANCHICK are unjust stewards.  Neither one should not have had his contract renewed by the St. Johns County Commissioners, all of whom are registered Republicans afraid of the omnipresent forms of political and economic retaliation by Sheriff SHOAR.  W

hen will we elect a Democrat to St. Johns County and end some 20 years of all-Republican misrule?

No response from McCORMACK or WANCHICK.

In the words of Wm. F. Buckley, Jr., "why does baloney reject the grinder?"

Continuing secrecy about the MEC case, with documents secreted to date by both MEC and St. Johns County.  

Wonder why?

Here's the e-mail trail:

Dear Mr. Slavin,
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your public records request.  St. Johns County will determine if it has any records that are responsive to your request.  If any such records are located, we will compile them and redact any exempt material prior to providing them to you.  Should it be determined that the nature or volume of the public records requested requires the extensive use of information technology resources, or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, then we will first respond with an estimate of the additional charges for the actual costs incurred, and whether a deposit will be required.  In such instance, the records will be compiled only after you approve the charges and the County receives any required deposit.  Payment for the total or remaining costs can be made when the records are available.  If the actual cost is less than your deposit, you will be refunded the balance.
Thank you,
