TWANDA CARLISLE WANTS TO HIRE CONSULTANT TO INVESTIGATE O'CONNOR'S DEATH


"I HAVE JUST THE PERSON: MY MOTHER'S BOYFRIEND HAS SOME MEDICAL BOOKS"

PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh city councilwoman Twanda Carlisle today called for the city to hire her mother's boyfriend at a fee of $80,000 to do "a medical study" of the cause of Mayor Bob O'Connor's death. "This gentleman has some medical books," she said, "and he'd be a real good consultant." Ms. Carlisle explained that "the people of Pittsburgh deserve to know the truth about who killed Mayor O'Connor."

Former Allegheny County Coroner Cyril Wecht said he would be willing to do the "medical study," which he called "an autopsy," for half the cost. Dr. Wecht said that he already has suspicions that a second gunman was involved.
