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?

    November 12: Sam Hallam: UK: "Someone to Blame." New podcast on this troubling UK case of Identification - and so much more - gone terribly wrong; No evidence, no CCTV footage, and he'd heard that witnesses who claimed to have seen him at the scene had changed their story. Oh, yes. No compensation, Even to this day. As Simon Hattingstone reports in the Guardian: "In court, the prosecution called two witnesses who had placed Hallam at the scene in statements given to the police. One of the girls who had confronted him in the street said she had seen him walking away from the fight, but under cross-examination she admitted that she couldn’t be sure it was Hallam. A friend of the victim, she said that somebody had mentioned Hallam’s name and she “just wanted someone to blame”. In 2012, a play was made about Hallam’s case called Someone to Blame."
