Rumor: Mistrial in Madison County when Defendant Doctor Rushes to Aid Sick Juror
I've heard that in recent weeks there was a medical malpractice trial in Madison County Circuit Court with Judge Samac Richardson presiding. During the trial one of the jurors started having a seizure or some similar type of medical emergency.
At the time, Plaintiff's doctor expert was on the witness stand. The witness doctor froze. Meanwhile, the Defendant doctor rushed to the jury box to provide assistance to the sick juror.
Needless to say, Judge Richardson had to order a mistrial. I wonder who would have won after that episode?
I would love to get more information on this trial, so please contact me if you can verify this story or provide more details. I do not reveal the names of sources in posts if the source does not want me to.
Medical malpractice defense lawyers are more secretive than the CIA about their trials, most of which they win. What ever happened to self-promotion?
Update: John Christopher represented the plaintiff and Whit Johnson with Currie Johnson represented the defendant.
