When discussing the indictment of Bridget Bishop in Boyer and Nissenbaum's documents it states separately the complaint, examination offense and testimonies of all the witness's continuously from pages 36-52 . It follows a close chronological order of the proceedings from start to finish.

During the year of 2015, a case that the Innocence Project was working on at the time was the Joseph Buffey Case. Joseph Buffey was convicted in 2001 in West Virginia of rape and robbery. Mr. Buffey pled guilty to the crimes based on the advise of his counsel and witness misidentification which was the heart of this investigation. On May 11, 2015, Mr. Buffey was excluded by DNA and the real perpetrator was later found. Mr. Buffey served a total of 15 years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. DNA Exonerations makes up 334 total cases that the Innocence Project has worked on. The following numbers overlap with the 334 cases. 237 cases involved misidentification by witnesses, 154 were the result of improper forensics, 92 were due to

Betty had a fall a few weeks after her diagnoses. It took a fall and an admission to hospital for the health and social care team to realise they were struggling. Finally, workers involved Betty and Arthur fully in giving information about Betty’s condition and possible sources of help e.g. meals on wheels, luncheon club, day care etc. This enabled Betty to be fully included in as plan of care which enabled her to

Melvin Fuller is a patient on the medical-surgical unit who was admitted during the previous evening for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). He is an 83-year-old widower with two children who both live an hour away. He lives in a small house and is independent in his care. He has a housekeeper who comes in once a week to clean and fix some meals for him. He was brought to the hospital by his son who was visiting. His children visit him at least once a month. Mr. Fuller has COPD and type 2 diabetes. Alicia Brown is a 19-year-old nursing student in her first clinical rotation. She has been assigned to Mr. Fuller for morning care. Alicia enters Mr. Fuller’s room and notices that coffee has been spilled on his bed and

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Habersham County, Tom was feeling slightly nervous as he exited the staff lounge and entered the hustle and bustle of County Hospital’s ER to begin his first shift as an RN. The first few hours of his shift passed slowly as Tom mostly checked vital signs and listened to patients complain about various aches, pains, coughs, and sniffles. He realized that the attending physician, Dr. Greene, who was rather “old school” in general about how he interacted with nursing staff, wanted to start him out slowly. Tom knew, though, that the paramedics could bring in a trauma patient at any time.

The entire book was based on the transcripts of court, how is it possible that the authors of the book knew the dialogue between these two men. The dialogue was not in the court transcript, and definitely not recorded, so that has to mean the authors elaborated it. Although it fits in perfectly with the story, almost too perfect, it makes no sense how the authors had access to

They are called to an automobile accident involving an adult and child. Both patients were struck by a vehicle while riding bikes. Both victims of the accident need immediate emergency attention. So, Robert and Ray decided to take the victims to the closest hospital.

At Care Springs, SSA visited with Kathy. Also present was Judy Baldwin and Kathy’s Aunt Jane. Jane is also a patient of Care Springs and is Kathy’s assigned roommate. We discussed that Kathy is doing well. Kathy shares details of her fall which resulted in her injury; sharing while walking up the ramp to her apartment she made a sudden stop and turned to greet the Maintenance Man for the complex, lost her footing because of the sudden stop and fell. She shares that the pain level of the injury is for the most part tolerable, while Judy shares that Kathy is currently on a routine dosage of pain medication for the injury. Judy explains the pain medication has been prescribed routinely because Kathy wasn’t requesting the medication when it was

a. The LPN was engaged in caring for the emergency transport patient along with the RN and was also in the process of discharging the other two patients. 3. Why did the LPN not notify the RN of the alarm and reading? a. With the information provided, it appears that the LPN was distracted as well as did not follow her scope of practice.

The meeting began with the executive director reviewing the previous meeting minutes. She began the new meeting by asking the group who we thought the next potential big fall could be in the short term rehab household called Franzen. The resident who everyone named was CF. He recently has been having increased confusion and paranoia. He is not independent but often thinks when in spurts of confusion that he can walk to the bathroom. The energy in the room was dull as evidenced by monitoned voices and side conversations. The meeting continued on discussing the other residents in that household and their potential for falls. Brossman is the other household which holds long term residents. The Brossman household supervising nurse was very involved in the conversation about her residents and offered good ideas on interventions and goals to put in their care

Upon my arrival, I made contact with the Lisa Formelio, the victim, and William Britt, the accused, in the front of the residence. I separated both parties and spoke with them separately to gain their verbal accounts of the dispute.

She did provide a conclusion to the patient on what to do, but she included irrelevant information. For example, Julia told the patient to make sure that her husband took her to the emergency department, but she also told her to stop and pick up her medications from the pharmacy first. This was not relevant for the patient to do before she went to the emergency room. The patient would have received IV blood pressure medications at the emergency room when she was admitted; therefore, the patient will need to ensure that she picks up her medications from the pharmacy after she goes to the emergency room because she will be given medication when she gets admitted to the hospital. Julia also confused the patient when she gave her the final conclusion on what to do for her next step. Julia told the patient to go to the emergency room and to the ICU interchangeably. This can often confuse and scare patients. Julia should have just told the patient to make sure that her husband drives her to the emergency room as soon as she leaves the health fair. I think that Julia meant the same thing when she was using both words, but it is important to make sure that you are clear and concise when communicating with a patient, especially in an emergency situation. Julia could have simply told the patient that she needed to go to the closest hospital as soon as possible; this would have been super clear

Someone I know was took to jail because of an false allegation of rape. Tim the men who was accused of an false allegation of rape is spending 23 years of his life in jail because a white women got mad at him and accused a back man of rape. False allegation of rape is when a women accuse a men of rape when and the men who is being accused didn’t rape or even touch the women.

Shocking to Laurie’s mother Charles’ parents wasn’t there. So Laurie’s mother was telling the teacher about Charles and the teacher replied “we don't have and Charles in kindergarten”.

The stigma associated with a sexual assault charge can be difficult to shake, even following an exoneration. Although the U.S. legal system adheres to a presumption of innocence, an accusation of this magnitude can easily ruin a person’s livelihood, relationships, and reputation – regardless of the claim’s validity. If you have been falsely accused of sexual assault, swift action must be taken to ensure your rights are protected. Below, Rochester, NY defense attorney Maurice Verrillo from The Law Offices of Maurice J. Verrillo, P.C. explains how to handle a false accusation.
