"Shrode is accused of lying on his resume here in Lubbock, back in 2005, in order to get a job as the Chief Medical Examiner in El Paso.
Last year, under public pressure, the El Paso commissioner's court fired him. Also last year, a political activist and document expert in Austin filed a complaint against Shrode.
Tuesday, word came out of Austin that the medical board will consider the complaint on May 12th. The result of the hearing could be a recommendation to the Texas Medical Board that Shrode be fined, suspended or lose his Texas medical license.........

BACKGROUND: Several cases have came under scrutiny following developments relating to Richard Nields which center around Dr. Paul Shrode. Richard Nields was on death row having been convicted of killing his girlfriend Patricia Newsome in Springfield Township (just outside Cincinnati). The Supreme Court of Ohio had scheduled his murder for June 10. The Ohio Parole Board hearing was held May 10. The Parole Board issued its report and recommendation on May 18, 2010. By a 4-3 vote, it recommended that Nield's sentence be commuted to life without parole, partly because it found the opinion of medical examiner Paul Shrode was unsupported by the forensic evidence. Ohio Governor Ted Strickland commuted the death sentence to life without parole.
