Episode 8: Nuns & Priests in a Courtroom: Catholic Hospital on Trial

A mother and her son from the Jehovah’s Witness community go to trial in a birth injury case against a Catholic-affiliated hospital in Corpus Christi.

He also describes addressing a courtroom packed with nuns and priests brought in for the closing arguments, as he wins this birth injury trial case for his client and her brain-injured son.
