=SCHOOLING= In addition to anatomy, the forensic pathologist may draw upon specialized knowledge and training in: Because of this they must study for 11-18 years in university. ====After high school you must complete at least 4 years of a bachelor’s degree, including several required science courses. This is the minimum requirement to enter medical school. Medical school takes 3 to 4 years to complete and provides a general medical education. After graduating, you will be a medical doctor (MD). To become a forensic pathologist, you must complete a 5-year residency in general or anatomical pathology, as well as a 1-year residency in forensic pathology. Then you can specialize which will take another 4-5 years. After all this schooling you are able to earn====

=IT INVOLVES...= Some forensic pathologists work for the city, county or federal government, while others work in hospitals, medical schools or with a private or group practice that contracts autopsy services to government agencies. Forensic pathologists spend most of their time in the lab, performing autopsies or examining tissue samples under the microscope. This can involve standing for extended periods and working with small tools, such as With all these tools it allows the pathologist to examine the dead body and analyze what happens and how they died. Doing this involves most forensics, (toxicology, biology, chemistry, etc.) Examining the wounds, or bruises and seeing what has happened postmortem.

=Case, 2002= In August 2001, a man walking his dog in Lindley Woods, found the body of 16-year old Leanne Tiernan, buried in a shallow grave. This was about ten miles from her home in Landseer Mount, Bramley, Leeds. She had been walking home from a Christmas shopping trip with her best friend in November 2000 when she disappeared.

How she was found
She had a black plastic bag over her head, held in place with a dog collar, with a scarf and cable tie around her neck, and cable ties holding her wrists together. Her murderer had then wrapped her body in green plastic bin liners tied with twine.

Length of time since her death
The pathologist examining her body said that it had not been there since November. She had been strangled and her body stored at low temperatures in the intervening time. because of the cold temperature the body remains were preserved so it appeared that it was more recent. During the autopsy the pathologist examined the body and found that she was raped, then strangled.

The arrest
John Taylor was arrested in October 2001, and sentenced to two life sentences in July 2002. In February 2003, he was convicted of two rapes, based on DNA evidence, and given two additional life sentences.
