    I also think an out of court settlement would have been better for the defendant. Having a jury see the extent of Louetta’s injuries and then listen to her and her husband discuss that their life was life prior to the procedure certainly tugged at their heart strings and influenced their decision and the amount of their award. It was interesting to review and analysis this medical malpractice lawsuit and develop a better understanding of how laws and ethics are used in court for medical malpractice

  • The Proof Of Al Lipscomb's Guilty

    180 Words  | 1 Pages

    Where is the proof? These accusations have been ongoing for nearly twenty plus years and not one time has he been found guilty. Do you remember when he was under indictment with Al Lipscomb for the similar accusations and then they both were acquitted of all charges. And the judge moves the trial away from Dallas because of local influences in the matter! North of Oak Cliff west of down town Dallas as always is why Judge Kendall made the statement “My gut feeling is that, from everything that was going on in that case, including the lawyers beginning to try it in the newspapers, as well as the prominence of Al Lipscomb, and John Wiley Price there is no way the duo and the government could have gotten a fair trial in Dallas, Texas," he said.

  • Charles Lewis: Militant In The United States

    129 Words  | 1 Pages

    I find Charles Lewis to have a valid point by saying that this country is in fact very militant. The reason why I think he says we don 't want to associate ourselves with wanting to be militant is because of all of the horrible things that can happen during war. When watching why do we fight every president has always gone into another country and tried to do it so that it was as if they did something to up hold America 's freedom. America likes to police the world and most Americans agree with it, this makes them feel safe. I think the real truth though in this statement is that fighting as a nation is in our best interest and we all should support anything our country

    Notoriety, a noun, is the state of being well known for something bad. Many infamous trials have taken place over the years and, at first, one may think that notoriety affects such cases. This is not true; although public opinion may convey its decision on one verdict, it is always possible that the opposite will be chosen. Based on the general procedures instituted in a courtroom, the decision will be made according to how the evidence is presented to the judge and/or jury, regardless of how strongly the people may feel. Therefore, criminal court proceedings are not immensely impacted by notoriety.

    623 Words  | 3 Pages

    In making the argument for the existence of the Law of Human Nature, C.S. Lewis first establishes the acknowledgement of a few different universal laws that man in subjected to. There is the law of gravity, in which Lewis insinuates that in the eyes of gravity, the body of man and a mere stone are one and the same. Then there are biological laws that correspond with those than an animal has. However, the one law that is specific to man and that man is free to disobey or get “mistaken”, is the “Law of Nature or decent behavior” (Lewis). C.S. Lewis uses inductive reasoning to form this kind of logic by first making the observation that even though throughout time man has seemed to have had different agreements of what they believe to be moral,
