Considering that this was obviously going to be a high profile case you wonder why this man was ever involved, big job in the public eye that is going to be picked over with a fine toothcomb, I'd be inclined to put my best man on the job, not someone with a prior bad record

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jul/22/ian-tomlinson-story-justice-denied

from this article

'Leading forensic pathologists say privately that they were astounded to learn such a controversial postmortem would be entrusted to an expert who was no longer thought to be actively dealing with suspicious cases.

Patel has since been barred from the Home Office register of accredited forensic pathologists and from carrying out postmortems in "suspicious death" cases.

Matthews has declined to say why he chose Patel. One theory was that the coroner was recommended Patel's services by City of London police. The force has declined to comment.'

more fuel for the conspiricist theories, this article doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the police either

as has already been pointed out . whatever angle you view this from it does the police no favours at all.
