I've never heard anybody but Kevorkian called "Dr. Death." Is this information really reliable? Shouldn't there be a direct reference to support if so? [[User:RivGuySC|RivGuySC]] ([[User talk:RivGuySC|talk]]) 03:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I will try to locate references. He was reportedly called Dr. Death because he testified at more than 100 sentencing hearings at which inmates were sentenced to death. If he testified at a convict's sentencing hearing, he was almost like the grim reaper as his appearance made it was almost predictable that the convict was going to die. In the movie "The Thin Blue Line," convict Randall Dale Adams complained about the discrepancy between Grigson's superficial examination of himself and the conclusion he gave at Adams' sentencing hearing. The movie's filmmaker originally planned to make a documentary about Grigson. In the book, "Chasing Justice," Kerry Max Cook recounts how the prosecution forced him to see Grigson without his attorney's consent. The prosecution needed Cook to meet with Grigson, however briefly, to provide a basis for Grigson's predictable testimony against Cook. Both Adams and Cook were exonerated. --[[User:Danras|Danras]] ([[User talk:Danras|talk]]) 03:07, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
