'Dr Death' Jayant Patel found guilty on all counts by jury in manslaughter case | After over 50 hours of deliberation by the jury, Indian origin surgeon Dr. Jayant Patel has been found guilty of manslaughter and causing grievous bodily harm. Six men and
six women held the fate of Patel in their hands. Patel, 60, had pleaded not guilty
in the Supreme Court in Brisbane to the manslaughter of Mervyn Morris, Gerardus
Kemps and James Phillips, News.com.au reports. He also pleaded not guilty to the
grievous bodily harm of Ian Vowles. The crown finished its case two weeks ago,
with prosecutor Ross Martin urging the jury to return guilty verdicts on all charges.
Martin characterized Patel as a "bad surgeon motivated by ego and suffering from
lack of insight". He told the jury the trial was about judgments, and that Patel's
negligence extended to his poor decisions about when to operate, and his choices
about appropriate post-operative care. |
