Your Litigious Pats: Weis Trial Comes to a Dyspeptic Conclusion

william-shatner.jpgAs if the Charlie Weis gastric-bypass malpractice trial weren't close enough to an episode of Boston Legal, the judge declared a mistrial following a dramatic courtroom scene.

No, the scene didn't involve Tom Brady. A juror became ill and collapsed.

Since the doctors Weis was suing were present, along with other doctors acting as witnesses, the juror didn't lack for medical attention.

The mistrial resulted because the other jurors saw the defendants helping the man.

Think about it--how would you rule if you had an inkling that the doctors in a malpractice case may have saved your fellow juror's life?

After all the Weis Case drama, the score is Doctors, 1; Weis, 0. But given Weis' football schedule and the doctor's busy lives, the halftime might take a while.

All we need to turn this into primo TV is William Shatner! Promotional image of Le Shat as Denny Crane on Boston Legal from ABC.com.
