Mistrial declared in Weis trial after juror collapses

BOSTON -- A judge declared a mistrial Tuesday in a medical malpractice case brought by Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis after a juror collapsed and several doctors -- including the two defendants -- rushed to his aid.

The juror, an unidentified older man, began moaning as he listened to an expert testifying in defense of Massachusetts General Hospital surgeons Charles Ferguson and Richard Hodin. Weis claims they botched his care after gastric bypass surgery in June 2002.

The judge immediately ordered the other jurors out of the courtroom, but some saw Ferguson, Hodin and other doctors who were in the courtroom rush to the juror's aid.

An attorney for Weis said it was with "great reluctance" that he ask for the mistrial in the case that was expected to go to the jury Wednesday.

Watching the doctors you accuse of negligence rush to the aid of a fallen juror: priceless
The value of your claim afterwards: worthless

What a shame, I was hoping they would decide this case on the weight of the evidence.

Have to wait for Weis vs Mass General the replay. (Or should that be Weis vs General Mass?)

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Ara Parseghian, who led Notre Dame to two national championships, and Lou Holtz, who guided the Irish to one, will be back on the sidelines coaching the Blue-Gold spring game April 21.
Parseghian will run one team along with two of his former assistants, Brian Boulac and Joe Yonto. Former Irish defensive end Ross Browner will serve as honorary captain.
Holtz will be helped by his former assistants, Foge Fazio and Tony Yelovich. Tony Rice, the quarterback on the 1988 championship team coached by Holtz, will be honorary captain.

With those old two guys on the sidelines, they can chop the team's catch-phrase in half. It will now simply be:

"Wake up!"

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Some Notre Dame fans are lowering expectations because the Fighting Irish lost Brady Quinn, Jeff Samardzija, Darius Walker and five other offensive starters.

Coach Charlie Weis isn't.

They can play a box-n-1 if they want, it won't matter.

I was at a dinner with a bunch of ND fans who were shocked to hear me call Charlie Weis an asshole. Isn't that just a given to most of the CFB world? One of them was the typical domer fan, but the other is usually pretty level headed about them.

I always thought it was common knowledge that Weis is a dick.

Actually, its common knowledge that he is an asshole. Alternatively, it is common knowledge that he hasn't seen his dick in many years. Consider yourself corrected.
