Media coverage has highlighted many of the witnesses that have testified in the Michele Williams murder trial in Tarrant County, Texas. One of those witnesses, Dr. Nizam Peerwani, testified about the autopsy performed in the case; however, he was not the medical examiner that actually conducted the autopsy. According to testimony, a mysterious “Dr. White” actually performed the procedure, but for an undisclosed reason Dr. Peerwani terminated Dr. White some time ago. Now the State is relying on the expertise of Dr. Peerwani to sponsor the autopsy findings – although he never actually viewed the body.
Something perhaps of interest to trial voyeurs, the Tarrant County Auditor’s Office can be asked to provide verification of just how much money the State’s witness, Dr. Nizam Peerwani, makes from his contract with Tarrant County. It makes you wonder, how much would Nizam Peerwani buck the requests of the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office? It’s important to note, the District Attorney handles civil matters for Tarrant County…such as advising the county on contract negotiations.
