The defense involved the showing of models and color slides of gory operations, and the calling of big-name medical witnesses. A key issue was whether Dr. Stevenson had tried to get a licensed physician to assist him, at least in cases other than crash emergencies. Of the three cases before the jury, one was such an emergency. On this and one other count, the jury found both defendants not guilty. But on one, involving a case...
