Health Treatment Concerns

Patient's rights to their medical records. A fiction in reality? Patients have rights? For evil to prevail – it is sufficient only – that good men/women do nothing?

    Brian Peixoto: Massachusetts: Flawed medical testimony: On May 26, a judge overturned his nearly 30-year-old murder conviction finding that new medical science provides a different, plausible theory of how his then girlfriend three-year-old son died, raising the question whether a murder had actually occurred. Will he be granted bail? Reporter Andrew Quemere. Massdump..."At a March 1997 trial, a Bristol County prosecutor accused Peixoto of murdering three-year-old Christopher Affonso, Jr. The prosecutor argued that shortly before Affonso’s death, Peixoto assaulted the boy in a fit of rage after he wet himself in Peixoto’s Westport apartment. The prosecutor presented jurors with a lurid story in which Peixoto tortured the child by pinching his penis then grabbed him by his arms and slammed his head on a hard surface eight times, causing a six-inch fracture at the base of his skull and killing him almost immediately. But on May 26, now-retired Plymouth County Superior Court Justice Daniel O’Shea overturned Peixoto’s murder conviction, finding that new medical science provides a different, plausible theory of how Affonso died. In an 80-page decision, O’Shea said Peixoto is entitled to a new trial because studies from 2016 and 2022 show that children can sustain fractures at the base of the skull from short falls and that such fractures do not necessarily result in immediate loss of consciousness or death. The research, O’Shea said, contradicts the prosecution’s claim that Affonso’s injury could have only resulted from a violent assault shortly before he died.

    JUDICIAL REGISTER: Eleven years ago - Holyrood debated & supported a motion calling for Scottish judges to register all their interests. In 2021 - after a near DECADE of opposition, delay & a campaign of hostility, threats to shut journalists out of our courts & hostile briefings from Scotland’s legal establishment - the Scottish Government committed to create a Judicial Interests Register. In October 2025, this judicial register is yet to be created.
