DEPUTY CORONER: FAILURE TO PERFORM 'WECHT DETAILS' RESULTED IN PUNISHMENT
PITTSBURGH - Tiffani Hunt, a former deputy coroner, testified at Cyril Wecht's criminal trial that Coroner's Office employees were often called upon to perform what they called "Wecht details," personal errands for Dr. Wecht and his family. She elaborated that if employees failed to run errands for their boss, they would be punished. "Minor infractions would result in waterboarding, thumbscrews, crucifixion, the works,"said Hunt. Under cross examination, Hunt testified that orders to attach electrodes to co-workers testicles caused her to switch positions from Deputy Coroner to fry cook at Arbys.
