Makes me wonder what precisely was occurring in the ambulance. The record stating there was a bloody wound- quite bizarre indeed. Makes me wonder what precisely was occurring in the ambulance.

I like that. The French language is so beautiful. Discovering that kind of misinformation... not being able to defend against it and having to keep the jurors happy would be crazy making. YIKES! And WHY could the fam DR not testify??? I know I am naive about these things... but why can't people just tell the truth and let the jury decide? I guess because the other side will try to twist and cause the truthful person look bad and discredit them. And so the game begins. What about... "The truth will set you free"? In reading about voir dire... I just had an awful thought and I hope I am wrong. In the previous comments I mentioned the same man allegedly accused of murder is also doing something else illegal (not the same scale but not good)and it is beginning to hit the papers. The one case has nothing to do with the other. but after reading about voir dire (thanks for the lesson :),I am now concerned that perhaps... his defense attorney for the murder trial will use this other case hitting the media as a reason for stating he would have a biased jury, etc and if it could negatively impact the case in such a way... that an guilty man (allegedly) gets off scott free? Perish the thought! It must've been so awful to have this hanging over you for so long. I guess you learn to live with it. I’d by your books! :)

Dragging the posts out is just like being involved in the trial itself, huh? Sucks, doesn't it? Want to buy the book? Lots more – I’m estimating about 25.

On the other hand, I can't imagine that the EMS note wasn't included somewhere in the discovery materials. It may have just been that no one picked up on what was contained in the note until the plaintiff's attorney tipped his hand. I don’t know if he did or didn’t.

How many suits against physicians are there compared to other professions? How exactly would tort reform which allows lobbyists to set the value of cases be more just and fair?

How exactly would tort reform which allows lobbyists to set the value of cases be more just and fair?
