Shawn Parcells owns National Forensic Autopsy and Recovery Services, which provides medical examiner services for coroners and private autopsies for families. He presents himself as a forensic medicine expert and child abuse consultant. He calls himself a “forensic pathologist assistant” who has observed or helped with over 1,000 autopsies. Yet many Missouri medical examiners doubt his qualifications and accuse Parcells of performing autopsies without a medical license.
Forensic pathologist Shawn Parcells speaks during a news conference to share preliminary results of a second autopsy done on Michael Brown Monday, Aug. 18, 2014, in St. Louis County, Mo. The independent autopsy shows 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot at least six times, and Parcells, who assisted former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden during the autopsy, said a graze wound on Brown's right arm could have occurred in several ways.

He's a pathology assistant. He assisted Baden. Source

He's not a fraud. I believe only Nevada requires pathology assistants to have a license.

Why didn't Dr. Baden get another medical examiner that he knew to assist him? Dr. Baden has to know many, many, many medical examiners; so why doesn't he have someone he knows is qualified to assist him?

Because Parcells IS qualified to assist. And that's all he is doing.
He is a specialist in gun shot wounds and is a qualified technician.
Amazing how smear campaigns can turn insinuation and accusations into facts in the minds of some.

How do you KNOW Mr. Parcells is qualified to assist? Mr. Parcells has no formal training and the person (Mr. Young) Mr. Parcells says trained him refutes that statement.
