Wow. Marty has serious issues and quite the martyr complex, IMO. Or maybe it's a savior complex. I'd like to know where he got all his "facts" from.

The Miracle for Justina site has posted another back-patting statement from the Pelletier's lawyers: KJC Law Firm is pleased to announce another significant victory for Justina Pelletier against Dr. Alice Newton and others. A medical malpractice tribunal has confirmed that KJC Law Firm set...

Thanks! I will check it out.

This is going to drag on, as the kids say, 4evah! Still, a full judicial review, with details and testimony by the docs and BCH would surely be enlightening. Is there a link for those of us who would like to read the MA Trial Court Case Access record?

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to hearing more as the outcome becomes known.

So, any news about the first medical tribunal? Was it held today?

thanks for the update. I'm sure the court would prefer one tribunal, to get this thing moving or over with, but IMO, the family loves to draw things out as long as possible, in order to seek more sympathy, more publicity and quite likely more donations, so they may ask for individual tribunals...

Thanks for the update! I'm betting this is for one doctor, and that the others will all want their own day in court. But we shall see.

Thanks for this beautifully written and very cogent summary. I wish all of the family's uninformed supporters, who follow their line and blame everything on BCH and Mass. DCF, could read it and ponder it. I remain hopeful that the tribunals (or subsequent malpractice trial, if there is one)...

If they think, even after perhaps losing in the Tribunal round, that they can still win the case (and by that, i mean make some serious money), then IMO they will post the bond and move forward. If they are certain they will lose the case -- and have their bad dealings exposed -- IMO they will...

Thanks, AH, for the lucid explanation of the MA Trial Court Electronic Case Access report. It was just what I expected: smoke and mirrors to hide what actually happened, which turns out to be "not much." I too thought it suspicious that the law firm was touting it as a "landmark" ruling, but no...

The link seems to be to the earlier Globe story. I found nothing about this on the Globe's website today. So all we have is the KJC law firm's take on this (and their assertion that it is a landmark case.) Reading further into their statement on the Miracle website, I see that KJC does...

I hope she is, too, but I am betting she is not getting "actual physical therapy provided by a licensed physical therapist who is experienced with her particular disability" : Instead, IMO, she is being used to post pretty and touching photos to keep the family's fans engaged, hopeful and most...

An earlier AnnaHanna post said: Surprise! Yesterday's hearing was rescheduled. The new hearing date is June 17. To be fair, it was a joint motion to reschedule. That Could mean that Dr. Newton's counsel didn't have a problem with rescheduling, had a conflict of scheduling, or they are...

A shorter hairstyle would actually weigh less, and that might keep her hair from pulling down and out. And I think she'd really look cute in that kind of style. But if she likes long hair, I am sure she'll keep it.

And speaking of that doctor at Tufts -- Korson? -- does anyone know if he is still practicing, after Tufts cut ties with him and closed down his mito clinic? I wonder if he will be called to testify if the Pelletier lawsuit v. BCH goes to trial.

Very interesting stuff, I.B. Wouldn't it be fascinating if her ongoing bowel problems were related to Trichophagia? Boy, there is a good novel waiting to be written about this case. I don't recall reading about them attending an anti-trans rally sponsored by Bachmann, but it certainly would...

I don't think it has been previously discussed as a cause, but her receding hairline has been noticed. It does seem that certain ways of combing her hair accentuate the "bald" look and others tend to conceal it. Tricholtillomania is a form of OCD and she might have it, but I don't think it is...

My guess is that the family used money raised by their Free Justina campaign, which is ongoing even though Justina has been "free" for quite some time, to buy the power chair and possibly a van as well. Not to mention paying off the liens and other debts relating to their foreclosure and...

Another delay! IMO, these people would postpone the Second Coming if they thought it would be to their benefit. And I certainly hope your feeling about a settlement being unlikely is correct. It's time for someone to let the sunshine in, via disclosures in court.
