I cannot imagine how utterly hopeless Maya and her family must feel. The system has continually failed them, and failed them in an unbelievably overt manner. This judge is yet another example of this… 🤦♂️
The plaintiff's attorney hasn't presented anything yet to show negligence on the part of the hospital. It's all in what the court order states. The hospital had to comply with court orders.
@@fighthive4808 lol possibly, but I don’t disagree with my assertion that the system has screwed them. Mostly before the judge. And their attorney (which is obv not in said system)
When everyone has the same opinion of the Judge, you know something is WRONG!!!!!!!!! IVE NEVER BEEN SO MAD OVER A TRIAL!!!!!!😢 LET THIS REST IN THE RIGHT WAY! LET MAYA HEAL, PLEASE!!!! HAVE A FREAKING HEART!!! 😡
yup, something is wrong. something is wrong with people (or bots, as the case may be) that leap blindly onto a bandwagon with their pitchforks shouting "burn the witch! burn the witch!"
Watching the judge rule in favor of the plaintiff in one of the preliminary motions…looks to me like he rules in their favor when they are right; i.e., he’s not biased. He is just reacting to their propensity for being less organized, more “flaky,” and generally wasting too much time. (I’m watching the whole trial, in chronological order-AFTER the verdict. Maybe that affects my perception?)
@@Shooshie130 I am also watching this in order after the verdict and I 100% believe the judge is on the hospital’s side. If you pay attention to each episode and tally up both sides, he sustains almost EVERY objection the hospital has and overrules almost all of Maya’s lawyers. There were plenty I seen that were absolutely relevant that he let be objected because he sides with the hospital. I fully believe he only allows Maya’s lawyers some leeway so it don’t look too obvious that he isnt being fair but it has been noticeable since day 1.
I have really been trying to not feel this way… BUT I’ve watched this trial in its entirety and the judge seemingly makes efforts to be rude to plaintiffs side.
I’m hesitant to say flat out biased because he has indeed sustained some objections for the plaintiffs and overruled some from the defense but it’s his attitude towards the plaintiffs side that is so blatant. He does not display that rudeness towards the defense. That’s the way it is. Sad to see it.
Does anyone else notice the judge? I'm concerned. He seems to almost get annoyed with the familys lawyer, and is making their case harder than it should be. That poor girl. The hospital failed her and now the JUDGE and judicial system. I'm praying for Maya and their family, may they receive punative, pain, and suffering and more.
It's just crazy to me that JH billed the Kowalski's insurance for CRPS from the beginning of her stay, yet they denied that she had CRPS in order to accuse the mother of CA. Now, the hospital is saying that they had nothing to do with it. They blame CPS and the Kowalskis, or the doctor who was contracted, yet take no responsibility for their own actions - like billing the insurance company for a condition they denied she had. Their culpability just seems so obvious, to me.
I would not be surprised if the insurance company goes after JHACH now for compensation. THey didn't previously because there probably wasn't proof enough. Now that the billing has been proven fraudulent, they have a WAY better chance of getting their money back.@@jackielove2737
I thought it was just me but I’m glad so many others think this judge is awful! As a judge patience and compassion should always shine through. Not sure how he made judge!!
Yes, I posted that same thing about this judge not seeing these comments. Very biased and this hospital is terrible in that they do not treat the child as an individual. When you work with children, you do show compassion and treat medically. To treat a young child the way that they did is scary and causes emotional issues for that child.
had an open mind going into this and still do. I never saw the documentary and both sides are making legitimate arguments. I am flabbergasted at this judge whom CLEARLY is biased to the defense. He is the worst judge I have ever seen! He actually seems contemptuous to the prosecution at times. He needs reported and if the prosecution loses they need to send the videos with their appeal as I don't think they are getting a fair trial at all.
Judge silenced Maya prior when she wanted to speak. Wouldn’t let this trial go ahead. May I suggest you watch the documentary. Then you will see the role the courts namely Judge Howarth and this judge behaved. This is not prosecution as this is ligation for punitive damages. This is not a criminal trial sadly, if it was Sally Smith and Judge Howarth would be trial on for murder.
my story is nearly exactly like maya’s. i have crps, went to the same exact hospital just a year or 2 later than her, and still had to fight really hard to get them to prescribe me ketamine to get me out of my quadriplegic state. thank god they didn’t seperate me from my family (likely bc they were already battling maya’s family) but i heard them talk negatively about me and my family. they also told me it was all in my head, and told me to get up and walk while i was paralyzed in a wheelchair, bc they didn’t believe me. i had to fight to get my meds. i then saw dr. hanna like maya and he saved my life. maya’s situation saved my families lives, but i wish none of her family had to go thru that. i thank maya so much for raising awareness about crps and for fighting so so bravely for the justice they deserve.
I live 6 minutes from the hospital this this is definitely getting my attention. Y’all story is being heard. Netflix said the documentary is top 10 in 45 countries
I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m glad you finally got the help you needed! It’s unbelievable after what happened to maya and they still treated people who has crps this rude way!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!
This judge has a terrible demeanour and obnoxious attitude. As a lawyer he must have been even more obnoxious. How he became a judge is beyond me!!!! 👎🏻
I watched several trials, and with that said, the residing judges. However, I never felt such a dislike for a judge as for this judge on Maya's case. I can't pinpoint why that exactly is. Is the judge biased or just rude to the plaintiffs in general? I'm not sure, but I know for a fact that this judge provokes a strong antipathy in me!
I have actually participated in several Trials, and I have never seen such an incompetent Lawyer. The Judge has had it with the Family’s lawyer, because he is unprepared and and is constantly revisiting issues that the Judge has already ruled on.
None of this would have happened if the hospital didn’t make the mistake in the first place. They started the whole thing and should be held accountable.
And they are all pointing blame in the direction of the entities that aren’t currently on trial, to pass blame. The hospital were culpable in what happened.
@@QUESTIONEVERYTHING..Exactly! Totally agree! He is the most ignorant, unprofessional, bias judge I have ever witnessed. He’s gross! I really hope the jury agrees and sees this also.
It is disingenuous for John Hopkins to make a referral to the Department of Family Services, stay in contact with DFS, have them do the hospital 's bidding, and the wash their hands of Maya's treatment in the hospital. "It wasn't us. It was all Department of Family Services fault. We have clean hands." What a slick way to avoid liability. It appears all the hospital did for three months was provide OT and PT services and bill her insurance company over five hundred thousand dollars for a condition the hospital denied she had. This judge is extremely biased against Maya's team of attorneys. The hospital forced pictures under threat of never seeing her mother again. I guess that threat became a reality. They refused to allow her priest to pray with her. This is against the patient's bill of rights. We don't lose our religious freedom because we are hospitalized. I hope Maya gets every penny and more.
@@jackielove2737they might not bother unless Maya gets a win, then they might decide to plough cost into recovering the money - it’s so biased right now I can’t see her getting a win unfortunately
Absolutely agree on your first point and it has been bothering me throughout the trial. Over and over Johns Hopkins tries to make themselves out as having their hands tied by the court, but the court wouldn't be involved if they didn't bring DCFS into the mix.
This judge clearly has a vested interest in the defense's side. It makes me wonder if he is trying to avoid culpability for his own, prior judgements on this case.
I too have CRPS and she had the 3 of the top 5 drs!! Experts!! K has been used OVER 25 years + successfully with CRPS! It’s not well known or many treatment options. They did not confer with the experts but billed a half a million to the CRPS billing code! Negligent negligent negligent. Stop the bias of this judge! We support you Maya and family. Justice for the family
What hasn’t really been addressed is the fact that the mother was polish, with a polish culture. They communicate differently. She also had to communicate in English, when her first language was polish. They are very “as a matter of fact” direct commutators. Her advocacy for Maya seemed aggressive to the doctors and the ones that removed Maya, due to her cultural differences. She seemed aggressive but she was just trying to communicate.
I can’t imagine how Maya, her and father feel. I have watched every trial day. I hate to say I feel this judge has already , silently, sided with the hospital system and it makes me sick. He almost always sides with them. It’s sad. My respect for this judge is declining. Stay strong Maya and family.
That’s their argument though, that yes they saw red flags and yes they started proceedings to separate the family and refused the previously prescribed care for Maya - but they’re justified in doing so because they’re following protocol. Their whole argument is that they did what they were meant to and what happened as a result is not blood on their hands - they were justified 😢
The jury decides the case, not the judge. If judges had that much power in jury cases, Nikolas Cruz would have received the death penalty. That is his courtroom and he runs it as he sees fit. The plaintiff’s lawyer is not at all prepared and incompetent.
Look at him. He rarely shaves, his few hair stands are never neat and he always seems agitated in sweaty. I wouldn’t be surprised if this judge unironically has a problem coming to work sober.
What I know is if the hospital had never called DCF to begin with no one would be in court all because they didn’t like the way the mother was advocating for her child
I am disgusted by this Judge. Is he the one that ruled no Punitive damages? Was this not appealed to the Supreme Court? It seems like retaliation on this Judges part. He is a soo condescending. I want to shake him, and say be nice.
The judge talks to the prosecution very differently then how he talks to the defense. I really think he needed to recuse himself after the hearing where he refused to let maya hug her mom, and refused to let her speak.
I keep reading on comments about this hug situation. Did this judge oversee the DCFS compliant prior to Beata's death? Seems like he shouldn't be judging this case if his decision to keep Beata away from Maya may have contributed to Beata's decision to unalive herself. I mean, it's impossible to prove that, but him being that close to the case prior to Beata's death makes me feel like he wouldn't want the plaintiff to win b/c he would've been an active participant in her demise. They need an unrelated judge overseeing the case. IDK, maybe I'm speculating.
Relieved to see in the comments that I’m not the only one who thinks this judge is the worst. He’s rude and clearly biased. I would be surprised if plaintiff won this, not because of the case they presented but because of his clear bias. This is disappointing and frustrating 😢
Thankfully he is not the one making that decision. It is the jury! They decide on damages\ $$$ etc. So, hopefully they see it the way most do online watching this case because this judge and defense team are disgusting!
A case similar with another CRPSr with MALS a Houston hospital tried to do the same. Rare diseases and the systemic complications must be handled differently with experts consulted.
@@zxy78267 absolutely is. We fought to get our kids back for 3 years...just for year 4 the state to come back after they lost our appeal saying that they never had the right to take our child in the first place AND one of the things they accused us of doing the accusing hospital actually did. 🤯 🤬🥴 our child didn't have crps but another condition that was missed at birth and then at 5 weeks old taken due to symptoms of that condition. (Rickets and eds was the cause)
Thing is not so complex as it seams.. if you going in details, focus is far away from point. And the fact is: 》premature staff decision to include dcfs 》evidently lack of knowledge about CRPS (Which is HUGE impact on Whole this situation) 》 denied of diagnosis 》invoices on half million dollars named on - treating CRPS. Its enough.
I was surprised by the jury questions yesterday. The one with the gal from the church, "did the dark people tell you you couldn't pray with Maya?" And the other was asking the expert psych evaluater, "knowing what you know today would you still use the word warehoused when describing Maya's hospital stay? Both seem telling of what some of the jurors are thinking.
The movie broke my heart, all the move was trying to do is getting her daughter help, I've taken Catamine drug before for my joint pain and it help for awhile, the side effects where awful, I pray the family wins.
So glad my 6A football playing merit school son was rejected by John Hopkins - he’s now a straight A honors student at Baylor medical where real doctors study
Based on the judges attitude this far I have held a firm belief that he is biased towards the hospital but after watching all of this and removing my own sensitivities I am inclined to believe he just has an attitude and shows his annoyance when he should not.
The hospital kept calling the state, even when a evaluation was done by their own people and found nothing wrong, until the state finally gave in and gave the hospital what
And now this attorney makes sense to me, whereas all previous days I didn’t understand why he was representing them because his questioning an opening statement did not adequately come across and my preferred the Kowalski, other attorneys line of questioning, and reasoning. If this case does not prove how our US court systems need to be changed I don’t know of another trial that would
Why wouldn't the hospital let her Priest pray with Maya. Most hospitals have pastors or allow religious leader in to comfort and pray with patients. The aunt wanted to give rosarie to Maya and wasn't allowed. I don't get that 😕
This Judge should be ashamed of himself, does he not realize how many people are watching him as a judge in a court of law. I hope and prey for Maya and her families sake that justice is served and not give up because the judge just cant be bothered and its written al over his face and demeaner he is portraying towards this case. I'm absolutely gob smacked right now and the amount of times I've shaken my head listening to his attitude Is astonishing. And reading the chat well don't get me started on the lack of empathy and respect for Maya and her family Its absolutely DISGUSTING....
@@caitlyngerken2768to layperson it may look like it but there are pretrial and trial procedures both sides are to follow.judges don't have patient to teach lawyers what they should already know

@@fighthive4808I know right!?! Lol What a bizarre comment. 🤦♀️ Regardless, of how a lawyer is presenting their case etc. a judge needs to 100% keep their “emotions” in check. In their delivery of their rulings, based in LAW......how they speak, their demeanor etc. needs to be presented unbiased period!!!!!! That is their JOB! Viewers, jury etc. should not be able to tell or think “who’s side” the judge may be siding with. This is the worst presiding judge I have ever seen! Brutal!!!
Why doesn’t this hospital grow a pair and settle? Do the right thing and quit dragging this family in the mud.. this guy is trying to throw everything out.. it’s so maddening
The texts messages between the doctors discussing her mothers death is prove enough that they did it.. they said they did the right thing .. can’t take credit one time and then not another .. 1:43:31
I feel for this family however Maya’s mother is selfish. How is taking your life going to benefit your daughter and family? She made their lives worse by killing herself. I do believe the system and the hospital were evil but why kill yourself??? Now life is devastating for the kids and husband. The hospital needs to be held accountable for what they did but I do not believe they are responsible for her death.
Does this Judge really think us ( the viewers ) can’t see his bias in this case 😳 It’s so obvious & makes me sick this family can’t catch a break, especially with a Judge who should remain neutral in this case. He needs to recuse himself immediately!!! If this trial is over now & things didn’t go the way they clearly should have, then we need to fight for this family to have a fair trial!!!!
I just don’t think Anderson has been as concise as he ought to have been. He’s good but he’s either doing too much (micromanaging) or is just a rambler. Whitney is very good and makes cleaner, crisper arguments
Also let’s get real even if she does win she will be 80 before she sees a dime because they will appeal and drag it out just like they have up to this point
Unfortunately, DCFS is to blame not the hospital. It’s apparent the referral was made in good faith. And they opted to drop the DCFS worker from the case, as a legal strategy.
The hospital routinely prompted DCFS to validate what the hospital was already doing or intended to do. Furthermore we’ve only scratched the surface of what their failed duty of care.They physically isolated her for 48 hours in darkness refusing to even toilet her as a “test” on whether she was faking,
DCFS wouldn’t even have been involved if not for the hospital. The hospital didn’t listen to the parents or her prior doctors. They should have let them leave when they wanted to and none of this would have happened.
They weren’t in good faith drs never consulted the experts!! She had 3 of the top 5!! K has been used over 25+ years for CRPS. They were negligent period.
@@bo259ag21 The judge already ruled it was made in good faith. The hospital only has to report a suspicion, they don’t have to do an investigation. That is the duty of DCFS.
@@abby4027 I don’t know. I don’t know if it was a scheduling issue with witnesses and they took advantage of that time and used it for this or if the judge decided they had a lot more to talk over that he didn’t want to have the jury sitting idle waiting etc. they seemed to have a lot to discuss and fight over with exhibits and wording of things. I think them meeting will make the trial run a little more smoothly with less side bars
I can't decide. My understanding is that he denied the plaintiff's a trial initially, and they had to appeal it to sue the hospital. If that's true, another judge should be presiding over this trial.
I didn't realize he was THAT judge too?! Why wouldn't there be a different Judge, that seems wrong to me. Did this Judge allow the trial now just because of the documentary?
The Judge is completely biased for the defence! Its so obvious to all, a pity the Jury won't see the way he treats and speaks to the prosecution before they rule. The hospital did in effect "take the child away" before any court orders!! They were also negligent in providing the mental health services! I hope this family wins this, they deserve to and the hospital deserves being exposed! RIP Beata
That hospital and their attorneys had to sign off on getting custody of Maya even through DCFS they had to help DCFS get chain of custody of that said child to keep her in the hospital
I cannot imagine how utterly hopeless Maya and her family must feel. The system has continually failed them, and failed them in an unbelievably overt manner. This judge is yet another example of this… 🤦♂️

Look at him. He rarely shaves, his few hair stands are never neat and he always seems agitated in sweaty. I wouldn’t be surprised if this judge unironically has a problem coming to work sober.
@@jakestroll6518Lol, you're spot on 😂
Omg the judge is on the hospital side. Justice for Maya!!
privatization of social services is one of the most glaring problems in this case. It leaves no one really accountable.
What I know is if the hospital had never called DCF to begin with no one would be in court all because they didn’t like the way the mother was advocating for her child
💯💯💯💯
I am disgusted by this Judge. Is he the one that ruled no Punitive damages? Was this not appealed to the Supreme Court? It seems like retaliation on this Judges part. He is a soo condescending. I want to shake him, and say be nice.
The judge talks to the prosecution very differently then how he talks to the defense. I really think he needed to recuse himself after the hearing where he refused to let maya hug her mom, and refused to let her speak.
I had no idea of this. OMG
I keep reading on comments about this hug situation. Did this judge oversee the DCFS compliant prior to Beata's death? Seems like he shouldn't be judging this case if his decision to keep Beata away from Maya may have contributed to Beata's decision to unalive herself. I mean, it's impossible to prove that, but him being that close to the case prior to Beata's death makes me feel like he wouldn't want the plaintiff to win b/c he would've been an active participant in her demise. They need an unrelated judge overseeing the case. IDK, maybe I'm speculating.
Wait this is that same judge?!?
@@caitlyngerken2768 I am googling to figure this out but one or all of us should report him. This is insanely biased for the defense.
This is the same judge?! How is he the judge on this trial?!
Relieved to see in the comments that I’m not the only one who thinks this judge is the worst. He’s rude and clearly biased. I would be surprised if plaintiff won this, not because of the case they presented but because of his clear bias. This is disappointing and frustrating 😢
Thankfully he is not the one making that decision. It is the jury! They decide on damages\ $$$ etc. So, hopefully they see it the way most do online watching this case because this judge and defense team are disgusting!
A case similar with another CRPSr with MALS a Houston hospital tried to do the same. Rare diseases and the systemic complications must be handled differently with experts consulted.
If you have a child and go to Florida don’t dare take them to this hospital!
Sadly all children's hospitals have cap teams...and MANY are just like Sally Smith and the rest of the staff there.
@@itstime15That's terrifying. I'm glad my children are almost all grown now.
@@zxy78267 absolutely is. We fought to get our kids back for 3 years...just for year 4 the state to come back after they lost our appeal saying that they never had the right to take our child in the first place AND one of the things they accused us of doing the accusing hospital actually did. 🤯 🤬🥴 our child didn't have crps but another condition that was missed at birth and then at 5 weeks old taken due to symptoms of that condition. (Rickets and eds was the cause)
Thing is not so complex as it seams.. if you going in details, focus is far away from point.
And the fact is:
》premature staff decision to include dcfs
》evidently lack of knowledge about CRPS
(Which is HUGE impact on Whole this situation)
》 denied of diagnosis
》invoices on half million dollars named on - treating CRPS.
Its enough.
Great summary!
This Judge has obviously been bought and paid for. UGH. Lord have mercy on his soul.
I have never ever seen a more bias judge!!! This is the most disgusting thing
I was surprised by the jury questions yesterday. The one with the gal from the church, "did the dark people tell you you couldn't pray with Maya?" And the other was asking the expert psych evaluater, "knowing what you know today would you still use the word warehoused when describing Maya's hospital stay? Both seem telling of what some of the jurors are thinking.
I was curious about those same questions. What do you think??
I think some of the questions asked by the jury are better than the questions asked by the legal teams
Omg! Wow! How you failed that family! Don’t ever go to this hospital! You should all be ashamed what you did to that family!
The movie broke my heart, all the move was trying to do is getting her daughter help, I've taken Catamine drug before for my joint pain and it help for awhile, the side effects where awful, I pray the family wins.
The judge is CLEARLY biased
So glad my 6A football playing merit school son was rejected by John Hopkins - he’s now a straight A honors student at Baylor medical where real doctors study
Thank God for the Jury because we all know where the judge stands.
How would that judge feel if it was his child? I’ve not liked him from day one, I thought it was just me!
This judge needs to be reported
Based on the judges attitude this far I have held a firm belief that he is biased towards the hospital but after watching all of this and removing my own sensitivities I am inclined to believe he just has an attitude and shows his annoyance when he should not.
Judge is biased against maya and her attorneys
This judge is RUDE!
The hospital kept calling the state, even when a evaluation was done by their own people and found nothing wrong, until the state finally gave in and gave the hospital what
Why is the judge so RUDE to the plaintiff's side????
I am so dismayed by the judge
I don’t care for this judge….
And now this attorney makes sense to me, whereas all previous days I didn’t understand why he was representing them because his questioning an opening statement did not adequately come across and my preferred the Kowalski, other attorneys line of questioning, and reasoning. If this case does not prove how our US court systems need to be changed I don’t know of another trial that would
This judge is something. He seems biased in this case.
This judge should be taken off this trial he is unjust
Footage begins around 8 mins 👍🏼
Oh Judge, shave that tuft off the top of your head..bleh
This Judge is getting this all wrong. He might as well just give the defense team the win.
Why wouldn't the hospital let her Priest pray with Maya. Most hospitals have pastors or allow religious leader in to comfort and pray with patients. The aunt wanted to give rosarie to Maya and wasn't allowed. I don't get that 😕
JHACH is claiming that was court ordered by DCF
Yes or her attorney. How disgusting
This Judge should be ashamed of himself, does he not realize how many people are watching him as a judge in a court of law. I hope and prey for Maya and her families sake that justice is served and not give up because the judge just cant be bothered and its written al over his face and demeaner he is portraying towards this case. I'm absolutely gob smacked right now and the amount of times I've shaken my head listening to his attitude Is astonishing. And reading the chat well don't get me started on the lack of empathy and respect for Maya and her family Its absolutely DISGUSTING....
Court starts at 7:50
Only housekeeping matters today.
dcf should also be co defendant if the hospital is going to blame them for everything
They have already settled with the family.
@@jillcann4077 well plaintiffs should be allowed to announce that to the jury
Trials are based on the law, facts and evidence not one sided documentary.
Has nothing to do with the documentary I never even watched it but watched this trial and thought wow ok he’s definitely unfair
@@caitlyngerken2768to layperson it may look like it but there are pretrial and trial procedures both sides are to follow.judges don't have patient to teach lawyers what they should already know
@@sunshine22723 if a judge does not have patience, he should not be a judge. point blank period. It’s one of the most important positions to have patience. It’s odd to me that you’re excusing this.
@@fighthive4808I know right!?! Lol What a bizarre comment. 🤦♀️ Regardless, of how a lawyer is presenting their case etc. a judge needs to 100% keep their “emotions” in check. In their delivery of their rulings, based in LAW......how they speak, their demeanor etc. needs to be presented unbiased period!!!!!! That is their JOB! Viewers, jury etc. should not be able to tell or think “who’s side” the judge may be siding with. This is the worst presiding judge I have ever seen! Brutal!!!
Thanks Captain Obvious!!!! 🤦♀️😂🤦♀️
Oh wow. Did the judge just admit that John Hopkins imprisoned Maya for some of the time 😯
Justice for Maya 🩷
This judge is super trash. But having been on a jury I am optimistic that the jury will see through the circus court
Why doesn’t this hospital grow a pair and settle? Do the right thing and quit dragging this family in the mud.. this guy is trying to throw everything out.. it’s so maddening
This defense lawyer is really making this hospital look cold and heartless.. the judge is the worst unbiased I have ever seen. What a bunch of bull
The texts messages between the doctors discussing her mothers death is prove enough that they did it.. they said they did the right thing .. can’t take credit one time and then not another .. 1:43:31
Wow I thought I was the only one who thought this!!
Just makes you think how long has this been going on
Agreed.........Decades!!!!!!
I feel for this family however Maya’s mother is selfish. How is taking your life going to benefit your daughter and family? She made their lives worse by killing herself. I do believe the system and the hospital were evil but why kill yourself??? Now life is devastating for the kids and husband. The hospital needs to be held accountable for what they did but I do not believe they are responsible for her death.
Does this Judge really think us ( the viewers ) can’t see his bias in this case 😳 It’s so obvious & makes me sick this family can’t catch a break, especially with a Judge who should remain neutral in this case. He needs to recuse himself immediately!!! If this trial is over now & things didn’t go the way they clearly should have, then we need to fight for this family to have a fair trial!!!!
I just don’t think Anderson has been as concise as he ought to have been. He’s good but he’s either doing too much (micromanaging) or is just a rambler. Whitney is very good and makes cleaner, crisper arguments
The court messed up also and tht Judge seems not on tht familside side in anyway...
Thank you, very interesting. Im from Canada
Also let’s get real even if she does win she will be 80 before she sees a dime because they will appeal and drag it out just like they have up to this point
Sadly, very true!
Money talks judge i dismiss u now shame on u
You gotta wonder of the ones who called DCFS have children of their own, would they be so quick to assume and report? I dont think so.
All these grown men trying to figure out the projector is hilarious. How many people does it take to screw in the light bulb. Needed that laugh lol. 😂
Rude judge
Judge is lacking common sense
Is this judge employed by the defense?
It’s looking like it
The court system court is so broken. Another clown judge, go figure
emotions is not actual facts.
And the college's themself are also liable for damages as so is the fraternity
Unfortunately, DCFS is to blame not the hospital. It’s apparent the referral was made in good faith. And they opted to drop the DCFS worker from the case, as a legal strategy.
The hospital routinely prompted DCFS to validate what the hospital was already doing or intended to do. Furthermore we’ve only scratched the surface of what their failed duty of care.They physically isolated her for 48 hours in darkness refusing to even toilet her as a “test” on whether she was faking,
DCFS wouldn’t even have been involved if not for the hospital. The hospital didn’t listen to the parents or her prior doctors. They should have let them leave when they wanted to and none of this would have happened.
They weren’t in good faith drs never consulted the experts!! She had 3 of the top 5!! K has been used over 25+ years for CRPS. They were negligent period.
@@bo259ag21 The judge already ruled it was made in good faith. The hospital only has to report a suspicion, they don’t have to do an investigation. That is the duty of DCFS.
Just keep listening...the case is just starting to build.
This judge is a joke, paid for by Jhac
What time are they coming back to court live?
Tomorrow
YES THE HOSPITAL DID TAKE THE CHILD FROM AND KEPT HER AWAAY FROM HER PARENTS.
They trying to tear apart and dilute case
That is exactly what happens in Court.
Is this a replay court was adjorned Tuesday until Thursday ???
This is just the ‘housekeeping’ day on wed only the judge and lawyers are there
This is just a care management meeting. Actual court returns tomorrow
@@glitter7777do you know why they did this during trial instead of before/after?
@@tiffanieoverby7803is this weekly??
@@abby4027 I don’t know. I don’t know if it was a scheduling issue with witnesses and they took advantage of that time and used it for this or if the judge decided they had a lot more to talk over that he didn’t want to have the jury sitting idle waiting etc. they seemed to have a lot to discuss and fight over with exhibits and wording of things. I think them meeting will make the trial run a little more smoothly with less side bars
I think the Judge is being fair, but his demeanor is off putting so when he doesn't rule in favor of the plaintiff he seems bias.
I might be changing my mind, he's P'ing me off now
I can't decide. My understanding is that he denied the plaintiff's a trial initially, and they had to appeal it to sue the hospital. If that's true, another judge should be presiding over this trial.
I didn't realize he was THAT judge too?! Why wouldn't there be a different Judge, that seems wrong to me. Did this Judge allow the trial now just because of the documentary?
No, he did not. They won on 6th cirtcuit(?) appeals court. 100% should not be presiding over this trial.
@@jackielove2737 Thanks for the clarification.
The Judge is completely biased for the defence! Its so obvious to all, a pity the Jury won't see the way he treats and speaks to the prosecution before they rule. The hospital did in effect "take the child away" before any court orders!! They were also negligent in providing the mental health services!
I hope this family wins this, they deserve to and the hospital deserves being exposed! RIP Beata
Awful hair and even a worse judge.
That hospital and their attorneys had to sign off on getting custody of Maya even through DCFS they had to help DCFS get chain of custody of that said child to keep her in the hospital
its medical kidnapping!
Is Maya still unwell or has she recovered?
She is in remission from CRPS right now and has been for several years but is clearly dealing with many other heavy stressors! Poor kid and family.
Should have gotten Johnny's team
You say that like that’s easily affordable, and the family have said they have been/are almost bankrupt
Would be nice but I don’t think most people could afford them, especially with how long this has been dragged out for. Sad!
