On December 1, 1991, Tommy Burkett was found dead in his Herndon,
|
||
|
|
Virginia home with multiple injuries--a fractured jaw, a battered
|
||
|
|
right ear, and abrasions on his chest. He also had a bullet wound to
|
||
|
|
the head, supposedly self-inflicted from a .357 Magnum that was in the
|
||
|
|
room. The exit wound was 1/4" by 1/2". The autopsy revealed no powder
|
||
|
|
burns nor powder debris. The gun's cylinder was unlatched, and there
|
||
|
|
were no prints on the gun or cartridges. The police did not talk to
|
||
|
|
witnesses who observed Tommy's car being chased that afternoon , saw
|
||
|
|
his car returned to the house hours after he was already dead, and
|
||
|
|
observed other cars at the scene.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The investigating officer from the Fairfax County Police lied
|
||
|
|
repeatedly concerning his activities; the medical examiner's signature
|
||
|
|
was forged on the report identifying manner and cause of death one day
|
||
|
|
prior to an autopsy; and the pathologist denied the existence of
|
||
|
|
photos of the injured right ear even though he had previously shown
|
||
|
|
them to Tommy's father. After appealing to the Virginia State Medical
|
||
|
|
Examiner and The Governor, the parents appealed to the Justice
|
||
|
|
Department.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The FBI at first refused to investigate, but after Janet Reno received
|
||
|
|
over 4000 signatures on a petition, they opened an investigation. In
|
||
|
|
their 20-month "investigation" they never spoke to the investigating
|
||
|
|
officer and accepted the word of the local medical examiner, Dr.
|
||
|
|
Donald Haut that his obviously forged signature was his own(Wm.
|
||
|
|
Megary, the FBI supervisor, said "Anyone can sign anyone's name to
|
||
|
|
anything."). They took walls from the Burkett house which held blood
|
||
|
|
spatter far removed from the death scene but did no DNA testing,
|
||
|
|
although they did acknowledge it was human blood and the pattern was
|
||
|
|
consistent with gunshot injuries. FBI investigator Robert Pocica
|
||
|
|
refused to accept tips from "Unsolved Mysteries" and refused to
|
||
|
|
interview reporters who had received threats after covering Tommy's
|
||
|
|
story. He did not obtain or test the gun, nor did he obtain and
|
||
|
|
compare fingerprints collected by the expert hired by the family (the
|
||
|
|
FCPD did no fingerprinting other than the gun, did not test the gun,
|
||
|
|
did not remove the supposed "fatal" bullet from the wall nor do any
|
||
|
|
other forensic tests). In short, the FBI followed the same script as
|
||
|
|
the FCPD with the obvious intention of clearing the local cops of any
|
||
|
|
wrongdoing. This is the pattern established by the feds in cases like
|
||
|
|
this. (See the "Primetime" segment of Dec. 13, 1995 on FBI
|
||
|
|
investigations of local police misconduct.)
