Prosecutors now claim that Dr. Cyril Wecht, former coroner's office solicitor Tim Urich and attorney David Armstrong all intimidated witnesses.

They claim Urich left a note on the desk of a witness that read: "Our receptionist is a snitch to the FBI."

Prosecutors also allege Armstrong made comments intimidating witnesses during a radio interview.

Both Urich and Armstrong deny the allegations.

Wecht is accused of using the coroner's office to benefit his private consulting business.
