CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The top candidate for the chief medical examiner position for Nueces County has declined the job offer.
The job was offered to Dr. Scott Luzi, who currently lives in California.
Last month, 3News reported that Luzi intended to accept the offer before he was given a higher counter offer from his current employer. Luzi decided to stay in California.
