Close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark. (You’ll see a sight that’s guaranteed to stop your heart.)
It is always nice to see justice done.
SANTA MARIA, Calif. – A lawsuit filed by the family of a woman who died at a hospital soon after she was moved to make room for Michael Jackson cannot continue as filed, a judge has ruled.
The family of Manuela Gomez Ruiz had sued Jackson and Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria, claiming she was kept from critical care after she had a heart attack on the same day Jackson was brought in with flu-like symptoms during his 2005 child-molestation trial. Jackson was acquitted in the case.
The 73-year-old Ruiz was on life-support after a massive heart attack and was moved from a two-bed room so Jackson could occupy it by himself.
She was kept alive in an exam room using hand-pumped oxygen until she could be reconnected to a life-support machine, court papers said and claimed the woman then had another heart attack but that the crowd milling around the pop star delayed her arrival at the critical-care unit. Ruiz died later that night.
As I said, always nice to see justice done.
Pity we so seldom get the chance.
