The moment a Sacramento, CA. judge was about to start the traffic trial of the defendant (Dr. Scott Green) who was in the operating room, helping to operate on a patient, when he jumped on zoom to be present for his trial. The judge wasn’t having any of it
I would love to interview the patient on the operating table. If you know them, my DMs are open.
You have to wonder how this doctor didn’t think he’d get into trouble. Not with the judge, but the California medial board.
I just found out about the story yesterday.
10-year-old Victor Peterzen was hit by a Jeep driver in Houston six months ago and he died because of it.
Nothing has happened to the driver.
Nothing.
I’m asking why, starting with @houstonpolice.
“Victor was riding northbound on Maux Street when he failed to yield the right-of-way at a stop sign and was struck by the Jeep traveling westbound on Knoboak Drive, according to the Houston Police Department,” reports the Houston Chronicle. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
The Chronicle also noted that the case was going to be presented to a grand jury because it involved a juvenile.
