Medical Malpractice Suits: The Sharon
Boxie Louisiana Injustice Story.
28:20
Medical Malpractice Suits: The Sharon Boxie
Louisiana Injustice Story. Every day,
somewhere in America, more than 300 innocent
men, women and children become victims of
medical malpractice at the hands of
incompetent and negligent doctors, maybe just
like your own family doctor, and end up
either dead or permanently injured. Last
year, over 98,000 victims were killed by
doctors; that’s like two 737’s crashing
each and every day, killing every single
passenger, 365 days a year. And more than 4
million victims are permanently injured each
year due to medical errors, surgical tools
left in patients and hospital-caused
infections. Today, the Insider Exclusive will
meet one of those innocent victims, Sharon
Boxie, now a total quadriplegic caused by the
medical malpractice of her own doctors. We
will also visit with her lawyer, John
Hammons, who has been fighting for almost
thirty years for quality medical care for his
clients and their families, as well as
obtaining just compensation for those who
have been seriously injured by incompetent
and negligent doctors. John will show how the
State of Louisiana’s medical malpractice
laws are full of traps, adding insult to
injury with draconian laws capping medical
malpractice awards. The $5 million judgment
awarded by the trial court to Sharon Boxie
was itself reduced substantially by Louisiana
law. And if America is to make progress in
medical malpractice cases, it needs to be
make strides in patient safety, not limit the
rights of patients who have been injured
through no fault of their own. John Hammons
is one of Louisiana’s leading medical
malpractice and nursing home negligence
lawyers, and is often called upon by
individuals as well as by other lawyers to
assist them in the most difficult of cases.
He has served on the Governor’s Commission
on Medical Malpractice, which provided him
with significant insight in this area of
developing law. John was also among the first
lawyers in Louisiana emphasizing the handling
of medical malpractice cases three decades
ago. He has been at the forefront of
precedent-setting cases, and is often invited
to speak before legal and medical groups.
John holds an undergraduate degree from
Northeast Louisiana University and a law
degree from Louisiana State
University. Nelson & Hammons has championed
the rights of victims of medical malpractice
since 1980, having successfully represented
hundreds of such patients or their families.
With its office in Shreveport, Nelson &
Hammons remains committed to quality medical
care for its clients and their families as
well as obtaining just compensation for those
patients who have been seriously injured as a
result of substandard medical care. With two
attorneys specializing in the handling of
medical malpractice, nursing home negligence
and related matters, Nelson & Hammons is
uniquely positioned to effectively and
thoroughly investigate and prosecute such
cases. You can contact John Hammons at

Kevin Clark & City of Milwaukee & City of
Milwaukee Police Dept On a cold freezing
night in Milwaukee, December 10, 2003, Curtis
Harris was arrested in his home on a routine
“disorderly conduct” charge, handcuffed
and then punched in the face and shoved in
the mud by former Milwaukee Police Officer
Kevin Clark. Dragged to the Milwaukee Police

when Clark deliberately and maliciously used
excessive force, throwing Curtis headfirst
into a concrete wall for no reason
whatsoever, rendering him a quadriplegic for
the rest of his life. The Insider Exclusive

surveillance camera video, in the booking
room, completely contradicted the lies of
Clark and his fellow officers; how Clark and
his fellow officers taunted, ridiculed and
laughed at Curtis as he lay paralyzed on the
cold cement jailhouse floor and drifted in
and out of consciousness; how the wheels of
justice turn in police brutality cases like

The Good Samaritan – Jimmy Dunne’s
Story
28:34
The Good Samaritan – Jimmy Dunne’s
Story On March 13, 2004, at 4:30 PM, Jimmy
Dunne, a Vietnam Veteran, retired railroad
conductor and American Legion Commander, and
his wife were returning from a birthday
party, when they witnessed and stopped to
help the victims of a three-car crash in the
small town of Port Jefferson Station, New
York. Jimmy offered help because he was a
Good Samaritan, and he knew CPR. While Jimmy
gave his statement to police officers, a
brand new Subaru driven by Lisa Lloyd crashed
into the police barricades and slammed into
Jimmy. Lisa kept going, with Jimmy’s head
smashed into the windshield, until the fire
chief ran alongside her car, dove through the
window and threw the car into park. Jimmy was
catapulted 30 feet into the air, landing on
his head and changing his life forever in
that split moment. Jimmy’s head was
fractured in two places, and he suffered a
brain hemorrhage. He plunged into a coma for
a month and required brain surgery to treat
his injuries. He now requires round-the-clock
nursing care due to his injuries. Lisa Lloyd
later pleaded guilty to second-degree assault
while driving a car while impaired by drugs.
Today, the Insider Exclusive will show you
Jimmy Dunne’s truly courageous struggle to
recovery; and how Stephen Murphy, former top
homicide prosecutor for the Brooklyn DA’s
office, and Daniel O’Toole, partners at the
law firm of Block O’Toole & Murphy got
Jimmy justice with a record judgment of $32.7
million, the largest non-medical malpractice
personal injury award in Long Island
history. Stephen Murphy is a lifetime New
Yorker with Irish roots. He comes from a
family of firefighters, police officers,
prosecutors and teachers. Both of his
grandfathers were members of the Fire
Department. His grandfather, Stephen J.
Murphy, served the City of New York as
Interim Fire Commissioner. His maternal
grandfather, Walter Matthews, reached the
rank of Assistant Chief of Department.
?Stephen joined the firm Block & O'Toole in
early 2005 after a successful and rewarding
career as a homicide prosecutor. He handles a
wide range of cases including labor law and

premises liability, trucking collisions,
medical malpractice and motor vehicle cases.
Stephen began his legal career working as an
Assistant District Attorney under Brooklyn
District Attorney Charles J. Hynes. He honed
his skills in the criminal courtrooms in
Brooklyn, prosecuting persons accused of
violent crimes. In early July 2003, Stephen
traveled to Sarajevo on behalf of the United
States Justice Department to assist in the
implementation of a new justice system in
post-war Bosnia & Hercegovina. Stephen is
also an adjunct professor of law at the St.
John's University School of law. He teaches
trial advocacy and lectures on criminal and
civil trial practice and evidence. Daniel
O’Toole is one of New York's premier
catastrophic injury trial attorneys, having
graduated from the Fordham University School
of Law in 1992. During the course of his
career he has obtained in excess of
$150,000,000.00 worth of settlements and
verdicts, all by the age of 40. He is also
the Vice-Chairman of the Labor Law Committee
for the New York State Trial Lawyers
Association. He is active at his church and
serves on the Parish School Advisory Board as
well as Chairman of his parish's Capital
Campaign Committee. Daniel is an active

Air Crash: Alaska Airlines & The FAA
Whistleblower.
28:20
AIR CRASH - ALASKA AIRLINES & THE FAA
WHISTLEBLOWER. Alaska Airlines Flight 261, a
MD-83 aircraft, experienced a fatal accident
on January 31, 2000, in the Pacific Ocean,
about 2.7 miles north of Anacapa Island,
California. Two hours into the flight, the
pilots realized that the horizontal
stabilizer was jammed. The two pilots, three
cabin crewmembers, and 83 passengers on board
were killed—the highest death toll of any
aviation accident involving a MD-83 ever, and
the aircraft was destroyed. This accident and
other unsafe airline situations could have
been easily avoided, if the FAA and Alaska
Airlines had listened to Mary Diefenderfer, a
former FAA Principal Operations Inspector,
who from 1993 to 1997 oversaw the team of
inspectors who regulated Alaska Airlines’
operations/functions. In August 1993, Mary
discovered that the Vice President of Flight
Operations at Alaska Airlines had falsified
his own pilot training records. Despite the
accuracy of her reports, soon after her team
exposed the violation by Alaska Airlines, FAA
management reassigned her to another office
and removed her from oversight of Alaska
Airlines operations. The agency denied her
grievances, revoked her pilot’s license,
revoked the Leave Without Pay that she had
requested due to severe emotional distress,
declared her AWOL, and issued a proposed
suspension – all in the space of several
weeks. These actions forced her involuntary
resignation in November 1999. Today, The
Insider Exclusive will go “Behind The
Headlines” and meet former airline pilot
and FAA Safety Inspector Mary Rose
Diefenderfer and her lawyers, Judith
Lonnquist and Mary Dryovage, to relate
Mary’s personal battle with the FAA, her
pending lawsuit and how FAA managers actively
retaliated against inspectors who tried to
make a difference and save lives. Judith
Lonnquist specializes in plaintiffs’
employment and civil rights law, with an
occasional foray into traditional labor law
and campaign finance law. She is a founder of
the Northwest Women’s Law Center and served
as National Legal Vice President to the
National Organization for Women, and as a
member of Washington State’s Gender
Justice Taskforce. Judith is a member of
various Bar and legal associations and She
served as President of the Washington
Employment Lawyers Association, on the WSTLA
Board of Governors and on the Executive
Committee for the WSBA Litigation Section.
She is a graduate of the Trial Lawyers
College founded by Gerry Spence. She is a
frequent speaker on plaintiff’s employment
law and trial and appellate procedure and
strategies, and is listed in America’s Best
Lawyers, Seattle’s Best Lawyers, and as a
“Super Lawyer” by Washington Law and

Holyoke College and the University of Chicago

Injustice In Search of Exoneration
28:21
The Douglas Espino Story – Injustice in
Search of Exoneration. Los Angeles is known
as the “Gang Capital of America”. Over
39,000 gang members commit an estimated 7,000
violent crimes annually. Once, gang members
used chains and knives to commit crimes. Now
they use shotguns, automatic rifles, handguns
and explosives. Once, victims of gang
violence were rival gang members. Now the
victims are often innocent bystanders and
residents killed or injured by stray bullets
. . . or people charged with crimes they did
not commit. Certain gang-infested
neighborhoods are also frighteningly similar
to war zones. And in one of those LA
neighborhoods, near Pico & Union Streets, on
a typical Saturday night on June 7, 2008, a
“non-gang member” named Douglas Espino
became a “victim” of gangland violence
and terror that threatens to change his life
forever. Douglas was convicted on March 13,
2009 on 7 counts of attempted murder. He
faces a life sentence in prison – for
crimes he did not commit! He is innocent . .
. and he’s a victim of LA’s gangs and the
criminal justice system. This Insider
Exclusive Special raises questions and issues
about the breakdown in the criminal justice
system for Douglas Espino, including:/n1. How
eyewitnesses live in fear for the lives, but
now come forward to try and exonerate
Douglas. 2. How an overzealous prosecutor
appears willing to win a conviction at any
cost. 3. Why the LAPD has failed to look for
the real shooter. 4. And how the Espino
family claims that Douglas’ defense
attorney failed to provide an adequate
defense. This is Douglas Espino’s true
story, as told through the eyes and words of
his family, his friends and key eyewitnesses
whose lives are “threatened” by LA’s
most notorious gangs, but despite these real
dangers, want to see justice done. Douglas
can’t be with us today. He’s currently
incarcerated in the LA County Jail, awaiting
sentencing on June 25, 2009. Joining us to
discuss his wrongful conviction are Charlene
Rosen-Espino, Douglas’ sister-in-law and
most active, outspoken champion, and
Charlene’s father, Bob Rosen, a well
respect securities attorney with the law firm
of Rosen & Associates (www.rosen-law.com).
Also joining us are Douglas’ mother, Maria
Escalante; Douglas’ sister, Amanda
Escalante, and some eyewitnesses who wish to
remain anonymous for fear of gang
retaliation.

GERRY SPENCE: LEGENDARY LAWYER FOR TRUTH &
JUSTICE - Gerry Spence is among a handful of
great American lawyers who have successfully
fought for truth and justice against all odds
in the legal arena. In this interview at his
Thunderbird Ranch in Wyoming, Gerry discusses
the lessons he learned as a young man that
defined his youth and fueled his lifelong
pursuit of justice. He talks about the single
most tragic event of his life, the death of
his mother, and how it transformed him and
allowed him to become sensitive to the
feelings of society’s castoffs and prepared
him to be a trial lawyer. And he discusses
how the frontier and land of Wyoming shaped
his life and philosophy. Gerry joins a
distinguished group of other American lawyers
who dedicated their lives to seeking justice
as well as representing the innocent and the

Medical Malpractice Suit: The Rebecca
Gatti Story of Wrongful Birth.
28:20
Medical Malpractice Suit: The Rebecca Gatti
Story of Wrongful Birth “Dr. William J.
Erwin failed to comply with the appropriate
standard of care for an OB/GYN in the year
2007, and as a result, Rebecca Gatti, a
newborn baby girl, suffered severe brain
damage which is lifelong and irreversible.”
Those brutally frank words were from the
Louisiana Medical Review Board to Ryan and
Susan Gatti, the parents of their new baby
girl Rebecca, explaining the irreversible
brain damage Rebecca suffered due to the
incompetence of Dr. Erwin. Rebecca now
requires round-the-clock care for the rest of
her life, with no chance whatsoever for
improvement. Today, The Insider Exclusive
will take you “Behind the Headlines” of
this real life couple, Ryan and Susan Gatti,
who entrusted their child’s health and
welfare to this grossly incompetent doctor.
We will meet not only the Gattis’ but also
their lawyer, John Hammons of Nelson &
Hammons, who for almost 30 YEARS has been one
of Louisiana’s leading medical malpractice
and nursing home negligence lawyers,
“Standing Up for People Who Cannot Stand Up
for Themselves.” The Insider Exclusive has
also learned some hard cold facts that
completely contradict all the myths that the
insurance companies and their lobbyists have
been feeding the public for years regarding
medical malpractice cases like the Gattis’
and why they falsely claim that caps on
medical malpractice verdicts are necessary.
All of these myths are designed to protect
the insurance companies’ and the doctors’
financial interests, while victimizing the
healthcare interests of patients. John
Hammons is one of Louisiana’s leading
medical malpractice and nursing home
negligence lawyers, and is often called upon
by individuals as well as by other lawyers to
assist them in the most difficult of cases.
He has served on the Governor’s Commission
on Medical Malpractice, which provided him
with significant insight in this area of
developing law. John was also among the first
lawyers in Louisiana emphasizing the handling
of medical malpractice cases three decades
ago. He has been at the forefront of
precedent-setting cases, and is often invited
to speak before legal and medical groups.
John holds an undergraduate degree from
Northeast Louisiana University and a law
degree from Louisiana State
University. Nelson & Hammons has championed
the rights of victims of medical malpractice

The Wrongful Conviction Of Ted White Jr.
74:42
The Wrongful Conviction Of Ted White Jr. On
April 10, 1998, Ted White, Jr. was charged
with 13 felony criminal counts ranging from
rape, child molestation, sodomy, and accused
of “deviate sexual intercourse” with
his12-year-old (step) daughter. In 1999, he
was convicted in a Missouri courtroom by a
prosecutor who withheld important exculpatory
evidence, which would have proved Ted’s
innocence! Ted then spent the next 5 years at
the Missouri State Penitentiary, incarcerated
at the infamous “Walls Prison” in
Jefferson City, Missouri, which TIME Magazine
called the “bloodiest 47 acres in
America.” The prison was built in 1836,
the same year that Andrew Jackson was
President of the United States Davy Crockett
died at the Alamo and Charles Darwin sailed
his HMS Beagle around the world. Because
Ted White was absolutely 100% innocent he was
now in the “fight of his life, to prove his
innocence. He’d been set up by his ex-wife,
Tina, and the investigating police detective.
Tina and the detective became lovers during
Ted’s trial and later married. The entire
molestation allegations had been fabricated.
Evidence was destroyed of the alleged child
victim’s diary she had written at age 12,
which mentioned nothing about any abuse, but
rather, praised her dad, Ted, and derided the
ex-wife, Tina, as an overbearing, insensitive
mother who didn’t care about her. The
former police detective later admitted to
receiving $500,000 worth of stock that Ted
was forced to forfeit as a convicted felon.
Imagine how Ted White endured those 5 long
years in prison with some of America’s most
dangerous criminals, while being classified
as a rapist and a child sex offender. Imagine
his anxiety through 3 criminal trials, not
knowing if he would ever get justice. Imagine
the horrific fear and pain Ted felt when he
was violently attacked in prison, breaking
bones in his face that required him to have
reconstructive surgery. Imagine his
humiliation, his indignity, his seething
anger and the hopelessness in feeling there
is no justice. Can you imagine being in his
shoes, feeling accused, condemned and
forgotten to the world! Today, The Insider
Exclusive is proud to present a story of
injustice: “The Wrongful Conviction of Ted
White Jr.,” along with Ted White himself,
Dan Miller, the jury foreperson, and Cyndy
Short and Matthew O’Connor – the two
dedicated lawyers who fought incessantly for
Ted’s release and acquittal. Cyndy
Short was toiling away in a small labor law
firm when she was appointed to represent a
young poor woman accused by the federal
government of attempting to assassinate Jesse
Jackson during his 1988 presidential
campaign. This experience changed the course
of her practice, and she dedicated most of
the next 15 years of her career to the
representation of poor people as a public
defender in Kansas City( first in the trial
division, then in the capital litigation
division where she served as head of that
office for nearly a decade). Her
accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. She
received the Lon O. Hocker Memorial Trial
Lawyer Award in 1997, given annually by the
Missouri Bar in recognition of outstanding
trial work. She also received the Defender
of Distinction Award in 1998 for her
dedication to representing poor people
charged with serious crimes. That is the
highest honor given by the Missouri State
Public Defender. The Western Coalition to
Abolish the Death Penalty recognized her work
on the Dick Dexter case with their Courageous
Litigator Award. She also graduated from
Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers' College in
1994. Since 1997, she has been a TLC faculty
member trains lawyers and judges around the
country. Numerous people owe their freedom
and their lives to Cyndy's dedication,
compassion, personal sacrifice, and skill as
a trial lawyer. The McCallister Law Firm
is comprised of a team of lawyers who provide
each client with professional counsel and
personal attention. The firm’s attorneys
actually mean it when they say they care
about each of their clients. These lawyers
are strong advocates for people both in and
out of the courtroom. Behind each case the
firm agrees to take on is a story and a
person. Since 1996, when the firm was
established, these attorneys have put their
clients first. By carefully selecting each
case, the firm’s lawyers can represent
clients that they truly believe in. An
important part of a lawyer's job is not just
representing clients in court, but also
developing a personal connection with them.
And the attorneys at the McCallister Law Firm
develop relationships with clients that last
well beyond of a case. The firm is available
whenever a former client has a legal
concern. Matthew J. O’Connor brings to
his clients a wealth of expertise and an
unparalleled passion for justice. Serving as
the District Defender for the Fifth Judicial
Circuit and later founding a thriving private
practice, Matt has experienced tremendous
success on a variety of legal playing fields.
A seasoned Missouri criminal defense attorney
with extensive trial experience, Matt’s
legal expertise and storied courtroom skills
have resulted in numerous successful verdicts
for his clients. The media throughout
northwestern Missouri has noted his charisma
in court. As a result, he has been called on
many times to serve as a television legal
commentator and expert for several high
profile trials in the region. Though he is
best known for his trial practice, Matt is
proud of his many appellate victories. Due to
his strength and style of appellate advocacy
the Attorney General’s Office has three
times been forced to uncharacteristically
confess error and concede reversal of
Matt’s clients’ convictions. The
O’Connor Law Firm has extensive experience
and great success in the area of Federal
Criminal Defense. The Federal court system
requires an attorney with a high level of
skill and experience in the particular area
of law. Whether someone is facing Federal
Drug Charges or has been charged with a White
Collar Crime, such as money laundering,
embezzlement, forgery, mail fraud, internet
fraud, bank fraud or identity theft, The
O’Connor Law Firm has the experience to
help clients with the upmost level of
discretion and confidentiality. You can

potential breach of fiduciary duty and breach
of contract. Additionally, the complaint
filed by Entwistle & Cappucci LLP asserts
claims for unjust enrichment and aiding and
abetting Tremont's fiduciary duty breaches
against companies affiliated with Tremont,
such as Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, MassMutual Holding Company,
Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., and
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. Norb Vonnegut is a

Medical Malpractice Case: The Emma
Mejias Story
28:20
:Medical Malpractice Case: The Emma Mejias
Story." Emma Mejias died a horrible and
painful death, on her very first Christmas
Eve in 2004, at the hands of 25 doctors and
nurses, another victim of medical
malpractice. All 25 of them systematically
and willfully ordered and administered the
wrong drugs for her life-threatening
condition called SLOS (Smith Lemli Opitz
Syndrome). SLOS is a congenital abnormality,
which requires treatment strategies on
supplying supplemental cholesterol. Emma was
given the Wrong Drug, Questran, not once, but
92 times – yes, 92 times in one month. All
of the doctors and nurses knew better. They
were trained to know better. They were some
of the world’s leading authorities at the
LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.
And her doctors had the unmitigated gall to
blame Emma’s death on the new resident
doctors, rather than take responsibility
themselves. Emma remained hospitalized at
various hospitals from the date she was born
to the day she died, because of the
outrageous medical malpractice perpetrated on
her by 25 so-called health care
professionals, none of whom cared enough to
give her the potentially life-saving medical
treatment she desperately needed. She
suffered enormous physical pain and suffering
prior to her death. Today, for the very first
time ever on TV, The Insider Exclusive will
visit with both Jason and Adrienne Mejais and
their lawyer John Hammons, Partner at Nelson
Hammons, who for 30 years has been standing
up for people like Emma, a little innocent
baby, who never had the chance to stand up
for herself. John Hammons is one of
Louisiana’s leading medical malpractice and
nursing home negligence lawyers, and is often
called upon by individuals as well as by
other lawyers to assist them in the most
difficult of cases. He has served on the
Governor’s Commission on Medical
Malpractice, which provided him with
significant insight in this area of
developing law. John was also among the first
lawyers in Louisiana emphasizing the handling
of medical malpractice cases three decades
ago. He has been at the forefront of
precedent-setting cases, and is often invited
to speak before legal and medical groups.
John holds an undergraduate degree from
Northeast Louisiana University and a law
degree from Louisiana State University.
Nelson Hammons has championed the rights of
victims of medical malpractice since 1980,

Right to Die - Dr Jack Kevorkian.

Right to Die – Dr. Jack Kevorkian William
James once said, “In any project the
important factor is your belief. Without
belief there can be no successful outcome.”
Dr. Jack Kevorkian believes . . . and
believes . . . and believes in every terminal
patient’s right to physician-assisted
suicide. He famously said that “dying is
not a crime.” Passion and purpose go hand
in hand. When you discover your purpose, you
will normally find it’s something you’re
tremendously passionate about. And that is
the simple reason why Geoffrey Fieger became
the lawyer for “Dr. Death,” Dr Jack
Kevorkian. Both Jack and Geoff forced us to
pay attention to one of the biggest elephants
in society’s living room: the fact that
today vast numbers of people are alive who
would rather be dead, people who have lives
not worth living. /nYou can contact Geoffrey

Hazardous Materials Health Risks – The
Oak Ridge National Labs
28:22
Hazardous Materials Health Risks – The Oak
Ridge National Labs In 1942, a "Secret
City" in America – in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
– was born as a direct result of a letter
written by Albert Einstein to President
Roosevelt citing the urgent need to develop
the capability to sustain a chain reaction of
uranium. From Einstein’s letter came the
plan for our nation to create an atomic
weapon that would be more powerful than any
weapon in the history of the world. The
Manhattan Project, created to develop this
amazing new atomic weapon, spent 60 cents of
every dollar in Oak Ridge, Tennessee! For 7
years This “Secret City” was not shown on
any maps, did not allow any visitors other
than by special approval, had guards posted
at the entrances to the city and required all
residents to wear badges at all times when
outside their homes. Several different work
sites were built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to
accommodate the U.S. Government’s need to
develop uranium for the war effort. Plants
labeled X-10, K-25 and Y-12 were all
constructed. Workers at the plants were
segregated by job duty and not permitted to
discuss what they were doing in their work.
Almost 60 years later, Congress recognized
that thousands of workers, employed in these
“Atomic” / Hazardous Material Plants,
were exposed to deadly radioactive and toxic
substances. And Congress passed, in July
2001,“The Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act” to
provide compensation to persons who become
ill as a result of work at these facilities.
Today, The Insider Exclusive presents a
behind the scenes look at why, despite this
Congressional legislation intended to help
sick government workers, there have been
roadblocks and obstacles forcing the majority
of workers who file claims to litigate with
the Department of Energy. In fact,
contractors of the Department have been held
harmless and their employees have been denied
workers’ compensation coverage for
occupational diseases. Over the past 20
years, more than two dozen scientific
findings have emerged that indicate that
certain employees are experiencing increased
risks of dying from cancer and non-malignant
diseases. Today, The Insider Exclusive will
speak with Bruce Fox, Cofounder of the Energy
Workers’ Legal Resource Center in Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, and Partner at the law firm
of Fox & Farley, who for the past 31 years
has represented all types of workers who work
in dangerous and hazardous conditions in
America -- obtaining full and fair
compensation for his clients. He will tell us
why the system has failed and how to fix
it. Bruce D. Fox is a partner and
co-founder of Fox and Farley.  His personal
injury practice focuses on automobile
accidents, workers’ compensation, products
liability, hospital and nursing home
injuries, and trucking litigation.  In
addition, Bruce has significant multi-state
lead counsel class action litigation
experience against a variety of defendants. 
Bruce is co-founder of the Energy Workers’
Legal Resource Center in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, a law firm dedicated to helping
local energy workers sick with serious lung
diseases, cancers and hearing loss as a
result of their work for various Department
of Energy contractors. For 25 years, Bruce
has been re-elected annually by his peers to
the Board of the Tennessee Association of
Justice.  In 2007, 2008, and 2009 he was
named to the Mid-South Super Lawyers.  In
2008 and 2009 Knoxville’s Cityview Magazine
named Bruce one of the area’s best
workers’ compensation, hospital litigation,
auto accident and wrongful death lawyers.
Bruce is a frequent speaker and lecturer to
attorneys and judges at seminars and legal
education forums throughout the Southeast and
Midwest.  He has taught on topics ranging
from underinsured and uninsured motorist
coverage to Tennessee workers’ compensation
law to automobile and truck accident
law. Bruce attended college and law school
at the University of Tennessee.  In his
sophomore year of college, Bruce began six
years of service to his country as a member
of the United States Air Force National
Guard.  Upon graduation from the University
of Tennessee College of Law, a professor
invited Bruce to study in England, at
Cambridge University.  Bruce completed an
advanced law degree at Cambridge, and holds a
LLB in International Law. Fox and Farley
combines over 60 years of law practice and
with a staff of experienced legal assistants.
As testament to their reputation for results,
the majority of the firm’s cases are
received by referral from prior clients, area
doctors, and other attorneys throughout the
Southeast. Fox and Farley doesn’t just
bring their expertise to a client’s case;
they also care tremendously about their
clients. “We are a small family here in the
office, but we have a much larger extended
family that includes all of our clients,”
says Bruce Fox. “Whatever situation they
find themselves in, we’re there with
them.” Fox and Farley works hard to provide
relief for everyone who calls the office
about personal injury, workers' compensation,
criminal and domestic relations. You can

Tenn Supreme Crt - Gary West’s Story
35:30
The Tennessee Supreme Court – Gary L.
West’s Story On Sep 2, 2005, The Tennessee
Supreme Court issued a landmark decision:
Gary L. West v. East Tennessee Pioneer Oil.
The ruling expanded potential liability in
sales to inebriated customers. “Tennessee
businesses selling products to visibly
intoxicated people are subject to more
liability.” The Court found that a
convenience store had a duty not to sell
gasoline to an inebriated customer who later
was involved in a head-on collision. This
landmark Case is the basis of this True Story
that lead up to that Decision On July 22,
2000, Gary West was traveling northbound on
U.S. Highway 11W, in Knox County, Tennessee,
in the dead of night. On the exact same night
and exactly at the same time, on the very
same road, Brian Lee Tarver was driving
southbound in the wrong northbound lane.
Tarver crashed head-on into West’s
automobile causing severe personal injury and
property damage. Just minutes before the
accident, Tarver had been a customer at a gas
station’s convenience store located at 7606
Rutledge Pike. Pioneer Oil was the
owner/operator of that store. The store
clerk, Dorothy Thomas, testified that on the
night of the accident, Tarver was visibly
“drunk” and “staggering” while at the
store immediately prior to the accident. She
refused his drunken demand to buy beer, but
she did choose to sell the same very drunk
Tarver three dollars ($3.00) worth of
gasoline. After buying the gas, Tarver was so
drunk that he couldn’t even walk out the
store’s door properly. And more
importantly, not only did he stagger to the
pumps; he couldn’t even pump the gas in his
car. Another employee, Candice Drinnon,
actually had to help him pump the gas,
because he was too drunk to figure out how to
do so himself! Ms. Drinnon then watched as
Tarver drove away going southbound in the
wrong lane of traffic without his headlights
on. At no time did any of the gas station’s
employees attempt to notify the police of
Tarver’s actions and his obviously
intoxicated state. Today, The Insider
Exclusive goes behind the headlines to meet
Greg Coleman of Coleman Edwards, who
successfully took this case all the way to
the Tennessee Supreme Court to fight for and
get justice for Gary West. Gregory F.
Coleman is a highly distinguished attorney
who focuses on products liability,
litigation, medical malpractice, person
injury, complex multi-district litigation,
toxic torts, premises liability, class
actions, ERISA, ERISA class actions, drug and
medical device litigation, and workers’
compensation. He has tried more than 100 jury
trials and countless bench trials. A graduate
of Jacksonville State University and the
University of Tennessee College of Law, where
he was a member of the National Trial Moot
Court Team and the recipient of the American
Jurisprudence Award for National Trial Team,
Greg has been recognized by his colleagues
for his outstanding work. He is a Charter
Member and Fellow of the Litigation Counsel
of America. Coleman Edwards, P.C.

and run drivers, and uninsured/under-insured
drivers. The firm also represents those
victims who have been injured in
tractor-trailer accidents, workers
compensation, toxic tort, asbestos related
diseases, and all areas of personal injury.

important thing. You can contact Greg

Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric
Peoples’s Story
43:40
Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric Peoples’s
Story Popcorn Lung Disease, or
Popcorn Workers Lung, appears mostly among
factory workers in microwave popcorn plants.
The illness is thought to be caused by the
inhaled vapors of the butter flavoring
(Diacetyl) used in microwave popcorn. The
most likely victims of this illness are
workers who mix the paste or powder forms of
Diacetyl with oil to prepare it for use in
the popcorn packets. Popcorn Lung Disease
occurs most frequently in regions where the
manufacture of microwave popcorn is a big
industry. There are many such hotspots
throughout the United States. Because the
law firm of Humphries, Farrington, McClain,
P.C. represents people from every state,
including Eric Peoples, they have probably
represented someone from your city or county
already. They are familiar with the principal
manufacturers of microwave popcorn. They know
about plants, the owners and managers, and
the litigation history of each hotspot. And
that’s why they have successfully tried
the only jury trials in the country, with
over $53 million dollars in jury verdicts and
hundreds of settlements against the
manufacturers, who protest that it was the
employers responsibility to follow safety
instructions. Today The Insider Exclusive
presents “Popcorn Lung Disease – The Eric
Peoples’s Story” – and shows how the
flavoring Industry used workers like Eric
Peoples as “Blue Collar Guinea Pigs” for
years. Eric played by the rules; he worked to
support his family. And the unregulated
microwave popcorn industry virtually
destroyed his life. Kenneth B. McClain began
his firm’s asbestos practice in 1984, when
he represented the Independence, Missouri
school district. It was the first case in the
country to return a verdict for a school
district to recover the cost of removing
asbestos from a building. Since then, Ken has
represented asbestos personal injury victims
and owners of buildings contaminated by
asbestos across the United States. On October
6, 1997, he settled the first individual
tobacco tort action in New York for Janet
Sackman, the Lucky Strike poster model. A
1982 graduate of the University of Michigan
Law School, Ken is a nationally recognized
trial lawyer specializing in toxic tort cases
throughout the country. Humphrey, Farrington
McClain, P.C. is a 16-attorney firm located
in Independence, Missouri. Our dedicated
attorneys, paralegals and numerous support
staff are experienced in handling asbestos
bodily injury claims and
building-contamination claim, as well as
other tort and complex litigation matters
involving toxic substances. You can contact

Producer... explain Wall Street's Engine of
Doom and its Financial meltdown. Andrew and
his distinguished guests show us how Wall
Street insiders wrecked the global economy,
destroyed the American Dream and enriched
themselves at the expense of the taxpayer.
Far more than an attack against our financial
system, the Wall Street insiders responsible
for this catastrophe have waged a massive
power grab that threatens to undermine our
government. With virtually no oversight and
billions of dollars having seemingly
vanished, the United States is on the brink
of going bankrupt - while bankers reap huge
bonuses and have Congress take ownership of
one failing business after another, from
General Motors to Chrysler to AIG. Unless
immediate action is taken, we risk
sacrificing our solvency and influence as a
great power. Andrew Entwistle is the Managing
Partner of Entwistle & Cappucci LLP. Andrew's
practice principally involves the
representation of public and private
institutional investors in complex litigation
and corporate finance and transactional
matters. Over the years, Andrew has
represented clients including Fortune 100
companies, public and private institutional
investors, governmental and individual
clients in a variety of corporate finance,
and transactional matters and in complex
business, securities, antitrust and
bankruptcy litigation throughout the United
States before federal and state courts,
surrogate's and probate courts, grand juries,
administrative and regulatory agencies and
arbitration panels. For example, Andrew's
recent representation of the Colorado Public
Employees Retirement Association in In re
Royal Ahold N.V. Securities and ERISA
Litigation led to a recovery of more than
$1.1 billion for his clients. Andrew is also
actively engaged in the defense of

matters. Entwistle & Cappucci LLP is a
