PANAMA CITY, Fla. - Six Panhandle counties have a new interim chief medical examiner.
Michael Hunter started Tuesday as interim chief medical examiner for Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson and Washington counties, taking over an office left in flux after another medical examiner's forced departure.
Charles Siebert Jr. left his post in 2007 after a state panel unanimously voted not to keep him.
Siebert conducted the disputed autopsy on a Martin Lee Anderson, a teenager who died after an altercation with guards at a juvenile boot camp. Anderson died in January 2006 after he was involved in a videotaped altercation with guards at a Bay County sheriff's boot camp.
A jury in acquitted seven guards and a nurse of manslaughter charges in the case.
