HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut medical examiner's office employee accused of letting her husband see the body of the Newtown school shooter has been fired.

Chief Medical Examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver, in a dismissal letter to Jean Henry released Friday, wrote that bringing her husband into the morgue in December violated the agency's ethical mission and showed "extremely poor judgment."

Henry, a processing technician, was accused of showing Adam Lanza's body to her husband on Dec. 16, two days after he killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

A message was left Friday for Henry at her home.

Chris DeFrancesco, a University of Connecticut Health Center spokesman, says a grievance process is underway and no further information is available. The center handles personnel matters for the medical examiner's lab.

    on the second man arrested at the scene? There is video of another man being chased out of the school in Camouflage pants and a black jacket, held by Police per witnesses on the scene? Could this moron of a little man, Adam Lanza really pulled this off himself? Or is this a CIA operation under the direction of Obama along with the Colorado shooting and the Oregon mall shooting just more attempts to pursue gun control and confiscation by Obama. I don't buy it, Obama is a criminal and would stop at nothing to get what he wants.
