Coroner Candidates Debate Need for Inquests

Posted 2012-10-23 06:02:00 by WMAY News


Are inquests necessary in Sangamon County death investigations?

 

The candidates for coroner have very different answers to that question.

 

Incumbent Cinda Edwards has virtually discontinued the practice, and says a jury of average citizens is not as well equipped to render a verdict on a suspicious death as coroner’s office staffers.

 

But Democratic challenger Jerry Curry says it’s helpful to have more public oversight of the coroner’s findings, and says he would resume holding inquests if elected.
