Vince McMahon’s attorney Jerry McDevitt is indeed working on a high profile case in Pittsburgh. He is a member of the team that is defending a former Allegheny County coroner who is accused of using his public office for private gain and defrauding clients of his private pathology consulting business. The case is newsworthy enough in Pittsburgh that the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is running a daily “Wecht Watch” feature with updates on the trial.

Powell’s POV: This supports the explanation Vince gave the Congressional subcommittee when he declined their invitation to appear at today’s hearing. It’s worth noting that the man McDevitt is representing previously served as a superior of Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who examined the brain of Chris Benoit.
