Mistrial in Chicago window drop case and elder abuse trial
A California jury found physician Wing Chin liable for reckless neglect in under treating a dying man’s pain, awarding 1.5 million to William Bergman’s children. The case tests whether pain under treatment constitutes elder abuse and may influence licensing and liability standards, with California caps likely trimming the award. Separately, a Chicago judge declared a mistrial in a CHA wrongful death case after jurors could not reach a verdict in the 1994 14th-story window death of 5-year-old Eric Morse at Ida B Wells projects.
