Doctor Cleared of Wrongdoing in Child's Death
By: Fox S.A. Staff

A jury ruled that the doctor of a toddler who died from getting too much morphine after a dental procedure is not at fault.

The family of Maddoux Cordova filed a malpractice suit against the anesthesiologist, Dr. Brian Seastrunk.

In December 2009, the 22-month-old stopped breathing, hours after he was given morphine.

Dr. Brian Seastrunk, an anesthesiologist, ordered a nurse to give Cordova morphine for pain.

A jury found that Seastrunk was not responsible, but did find the surgical center negligent.

George Brin, Dr. Seastrunk's attorney said, "It's a doctors worst nightmare to lose a patient and to be accused of being the cause of that is very difficult to deal with."

 The Cordova family and the hospital had already settled before trial.  Doctor Cleared of Wrongdoing in Child's Death

Manson disciple's tapes being analyzed by LAPD

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Los Angeles police have obtained the decades-old taped conversations between a Manson family disciple and his attorney.

Detective David Holmes says the department has had the tapes for a couple of weeks and Robbery-Homicide Division and the Los Angeles County district attorney's office are analyzing them.

A federal judge ruled in March that Charles "Tex" Watson waived his right to attorney-client privilege when he allowed his lawyer to sell the eight cassette tapes to an author nearly 40 years ago for a book on his life.

The tapes are being reviewed to determine whether there's evidence that could resolve unsolved murders.

Watson is serving a life sentence for his role in the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others. He sought to prevent turnover of the tapes.
