A patient comes to the hospital and receives twice the amount of thrombolytics ordered by the cardiologist. The thrombolytics
have a risk of causing hemorrhagic stroke. Two days later, the patient strokes and dies. The treating cardiologist is of the
opinion that the stroke was caused by the excessive dose given to the patient. Does this seem like a “no brainer”
on causation?

Never heard of remand to another state. How often does that happen?
I highly recommend Deanna and her team of professionals that serve the legal community. Great information and many thanks for sharing.
they are pushing these cases against lawyers too far. thought-crime.
vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
