His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F.

In a deposition to an attorney for the family, Omalu described what happened when he conducted the autopsy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu said the sheriff’s deputy investigating the death initially told him that the CHP officer who chased Humphreys to that freeway median fired his Taser “twice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu said he asked sheriff’s investigators for the Taser printout that shows the number of times the trigger was pulled and the length of each electrical shock. He said he kept Humphreys’ autopsy file open for six months, waiting for the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he couldn’t get a copy, he based his findings on the evidence available to him. He wrote that the death was likely caused by a head injury from the crash, and -- in the cover sheet accompanying the autopsy report -- he advised the sheriff that the death was an accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu testified that two years later he got a phone call from the deputy district attorney assigned to the case. Tori Verber Salazar asked him if he had seen the Taser report. Omalu told her he hadn’t and, according to his deposition, Verber Salazar replied, “I thought as much.” She faxed him the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Omalu finally saw the 31 Taser discharges -- subjecting Humphreys to 2½ minutes of electrical current -- he no longer considered the death an accident. He amended his autopsy report to state that Humphreys had died from repeated electrical shock when police intervened. And he advised the sheriff that the death was a homicide. In forensic pathology, the definition of homicide is a “death at the hands of another.” The term does not ascribe motive or guilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to California government code, determining the \u003ci>cause\u003c/i> of death -- what killed a person -- is the purview of the forensic pathologist, in this case Omalu, but certifying the \u003ci>manner\u003c/i> of death -- whether a person’s death is an accident, a homicide, a suicide, a result of natural causes or undetermined -- is the job of the sheriff-coroner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Humphreys’ death certificate Sheriff Moore listed the manner of death as an accident -- both initially and after Omalu advised him the death should be considered a homicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the Humphreys’ case last week, Moore told KQED he needed time to review his files on it before he could answer questions about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu’s deposition became evidence in the civil lawsuit that Barbara Steward and her daughters filed against the state of California, the CHP and the officer who fired the Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family’s attorney, Los Angeles-based Peter Williamson, said he is convinced the CHP and the San Joaquin County sheriff engaged in a cover-up. He said the CHP printed out the \u003ca href=\"#taserreport\">Taser report\u003c/a> the day after Humphreys’ death -- the same day Omalu performed the autopsy. According to a source close to the sheriff’s office who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation, deputies there also knew about the Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cannot for the life of me fathom what the possible explanation could be for the withholding of that evidence,” Williamson told KQED, “other than that it was a not-so-subtle attempt to clear the officer from any wrongdoing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williamson, who has litigated other Taser lawsuits, explained the weapon shoots two fishhook-shaped prongs that catch on clothing or skin and are connected to the device by electrical wires. Pulling the trigger sends an electrical current through the person’s body, spasming muscles and causing the person to collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what happened to Daniel Humphreys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He went down and he never moved from the position that he landed in on the ground,” Williamson said. According to reports that Williamson reviewed, the officer “kept yelling for him to move one of his arms, which was pinned underneath him.” When Humphreys didn’t respond, “(the officer) just kept firing over and over and over again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of Humphreys’ death, Barbara Steward worked as a civilian employee in the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office. She has since retired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting stiffly on her sofa, she said bitterly that she believes the sheriff buried evidence that Humphreys was killed with a Taser out of fear that it would make it harder for law enforcement to use the weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the sheriff had ruled this as a homicide, as it should have been...” Steward said, “it would have had such impact on law enforcement that he would have taken a lot of heat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Highway Patrol’s internal investigation cleared the officer of wrongdoing, but it was not released publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015 the state settled the lawsuit with Steward and her daughters for $1 million. In a filing summarizing the case, attorney Williamson said the withholding of evidence from Dr. Omalu prevented him from discovering “the true facts” of the case and “obstructed justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steward said settling the lawsuit, rather than going to trial, spared her daughters from having to revisit their father’s death over and over in court. But she also regrets it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Money doesn't replace a person, it doesn't fix the wrong,” she said. “Had it been me, myself, I would have pushed it to the end, just to look that officer in the eye in a courtroom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>DA Poised to Issue Report on Humphreys’ Death, Nearly a Decade On\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office also opened an investigation into Humphreys’ death, as it does with all officer-involved deaths. The DA did not file charges against the CHP officer -- and, almost a decade later, has not published a report explaining why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11633436\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11633436 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Joaquin County District Attorney Tori Verber Salazar with investigation files for the 2008 death of Daniel Lee Humphreys, who was stunned by a taser 31 times by a CHP officer. \u003ccite>(Julie Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tori Verber Salazar, who was elected district attorney in 2015, said the Humphreys investigation was completed only recently.

In a deposition to an attorney for the family, Omalu described what happened when he conducted the autopsy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu said the sheriff’s deputy investigating the death initially told him that the CHP officer who chased Humphreys to that freeway median fired his Taser “twice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu said he asked sheriff’s investigators for the Taser printout that shows the number of times the trigger was pulled and the length of each electrical shock. He said he kept Humphreys’ autopsy file open for six months, waiting for the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he couldn’t get a copy, he based his findings on the evidence available to him. He wrote that the death was likely caused by a head injury from the crash, and -- in the cover sheet accompanying the autopsy report -- he advised the sheriff that the death was an accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu testified that two years later he got a phone call from the deputy district attorney assigned to the case. Tori Verber Salazar asked him if he had seen the Taser report. Omalu told her he hadn’t and, according to his deposition, Verber Salazar replied, “I thought as much.” She faxed him the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Omalu finally saw the 31 Taser discharges -- subjecting Humphreys to 2½ minutes of electrical current -- he no longer considered the death an accident. He amended his autopsy report to state that Humphreys had died from repeated electrical shock when police intervened. And he advised the sheriff that the death was a homicide. In forensic pathology, the definition of homicide is a “death at the hands of another.” The term does not ascribe motive or guilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to California government code, determining the \u003ci>cause\u003c/i> of death -- what killed a person -- is the purview of the forensic pathologist, in this case Omalu, but certifying the \u003ci>manner\u003c/i> of death -- whether a person’s death is an accident, a homicide, a suicide, a result of natural causes or undetermined -- is the job of the sheriff-coroner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Humphreys’ death certificate Sheriff Moore listed the manner of death as an accident -- both initially and after Omalu advised him the death should be considered a homicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the Humphreys’ case last week, Moore told KQED he needed time to review his files on it before he could answer questions about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omalu’s deposition became evidence in the civil lawsuit that Barbara Steward and her daughters filed against the state of California, the CHP and the officer who fired the Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family’s attorney, Los Angeles-based Peter Williamson, said he is convinced the CHP and the San Joaquin County sheriff engaged in a cover-up. He said the CHP printed out the \u003ca href=\"#taserreport\">Taser report\u003c/a> the day after Humphreys’ death -- the same day Omalu performed the autopsy. According to a source close to the sheriff’s office who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation, deputies there also knew about the Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cannot for the life of me fathom what the possible explanation could be for the withholding of that evidence,” Williamson told KQED, “other than that it was a not-so-subtle attempt to clear the officer from any wrongdoing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williamson, who has litigated other Taser lawsuits, explained the weapon shoots two fishhook-shaped prongs that catch on clothing or skin and are connected to the device by electrical wires. Pulling the trigger sends an electrical current through the person’s body, spasming muscles and causing the person to collapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what happened to Daniel Humphreys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He went down and he never moved from the position that he landed in on the ground,” Williamson said. According to reports that Williamson reviewed, the officer “kept yelling for him to move one of his arms, which was pinned underneath him.” When Humphreys didn’t respond, “(the officer) just kept firing over and over and over again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of Humphreys’ death, Barbara Steward worked as a civilian employee in the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office. She has since retired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting stiffly on her sofa, she said bitterly that she believes the sheriff buried evidence that Humphreys was killed with a Taser out of fear that it would make it harder for law enforcement to use the weapon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the sheriff had ruled this as a homicide, as it should have been...” Steward said, “it would have had such impact on law enforcement that he would have taken a lot of heat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Highway Patrol’s internal investigation cleared the officer of wrongdoing, but it was not released publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015 the state settled the lawsuit with Steward and her daughters for $1 million. In a filing summarizing the case, attorney Williamson said the withholding of evidence from Dr. Omalu prevented him from discovering “the true facts” of the case and “obstructed justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steward said settling the lawsuit, rather than going to trial, spared her daughters from having to revisit their father’s death over and over in court. But she also regrets it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Money doesn't replace a person, it doesn't fix the wrong,” she said. “Had it been me, myself, I would have pushed it to the end, just to look that officer in the eye in a courtroom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>DA Poised to Issue Report on Humphreys’ Death, Nearly a Decade On\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office also opened an investigation into Humphreys’ death, as it does with all officer-involved deaths. The DA did not file charges against the CHP officer -- and, almost a decade later, has not published a report explaining why.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11633436\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11633436 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/RS28086_IMG_6088-qut-1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Joaquin County District Attorney Tori Verber Salazar with investigation files for the 2008 death of Daniel Lee Humphreys, who was stunned by a taser 31 times by a CHP officer. \u003ccite>(Julie Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Tori Verber Salazar, who was elected district attorney in 2015, said the Humphreys investigation was completed only recently.
