CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Dr. Sandra Lyden, a former Nueces County assistant medical examiner who was arrested Mar. 7 for tampering with government records is set to appear virtually in court Friday morning.
The hearing will discuss a motion to reduce bond. As of Tuesday morning, Lyden remains in Nueces County Jail.
The hearing was originally scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday over Zoom, but was rescheduled to 9 a.m. Friday.
Lyden faces charges of tampering with government records with the intent to defraud or harm another person, a state jail felony. Her bond was set at $100,000.
In January, Lyden was fired by Nueces County's current Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Adel Shaker for practicing without a license. Soon after, it was confirmed that Shaker would be leaving his position with the County on Oct. 31, however Nueces County Commissioners said that date could come sooner.
