Lawmakers push malpractice package with hospital funded premiums
Key legislators plan to enact a medical malpractice compromise as early as today. If enacted, hospitals would pay an extra 1 million in doctors insurance premiums, passed to patients via higher health plan reimbursements. The package includes non lump sum verdict payments and contingency fee limits, aiming to lower projected rate hikes. Doctors in Cortland threaten to halt elective surgery Aug 1, underscoring the crisis.

Separate trial sought for officer in cocaine trafficking case
The Syracuse police officer Christopher Collins seeks a separate trial from three codefendants in a cocaine trafficking ring case. Attorney Douglas Roberts argues a joint trial would create unfair inferences about Collins. Roberts also asks to invalidate warrants for wiretaps and suppress evidence from the telephone interceptions. The OCTF probe led to arrests of Collins, 38, of Solvay, Joseph Dardano, 38, of Steuben Street, and Robert J Bovee, 27, of South Midler Avenue.
