My current fascination is with our record-setting Pediatrician pedophile.
The tort lawyers are establishing a cottage industry in trying to wring every last cent from the Medical Associations, the local hospital, and anyone else in sight.
His attorney’s now have an interesting play afoot to free the beast – suppress all the video-taped evidence. The officer’s conducting a pre-warrant drive-by of the property noted the main office and a white out building (with black decoration). They received a warrant for medical files from the “office and the white out-building”. When executing the warrant they searched the main office, the adjacent white building behind the office (not visible from the street) and the white building (with black trim, now called the “checkerboard building”. The damning video files were found in the latter space. The defense is maintaining that the search of the “checkerboard building” was invalid and that the video files were not medical records. (Actually, once the officers opened the files and saw the content, they had the warrant amended to include evidence of child abuse before continuing the search and seizing the many video clips and recording equipment.) If the search of the checkerboard building or the viewing of the first video file (and the subsequent poisonous fruit) are thrown out, the prosecution is left with a flimsy case involving the uncorroborated testimony of a pre-schooler instead of video-tape evidence of the more than 500 counts of rape and child exploitation involving 127 children charged.
