A judge has denied an Orlando-area abortionist a new trial in a medical malpractice case decided by a jury last month.<\/p>\n
“Orlando Circuit Judge John Marshall Kest also denied a motion by James Scott Pendergraft IV to set aside verdicts for $36.7 million in compensatory and punitive damages,” reports Jeremy Kryn for LifeSiteNews.<\/p>\n
The case involved a 2004 botched abortion at Pendergraft\u2019s facility that left its intended target alive, but severely disabled. The girl suffers from a host of disabilities in connection with the attempted killing, including cerebral palsy, loss of function on the left side of her body, strokes, mental disability, chronic lung disease, and seizures.<\/p>\n
It is not clear whether Pendergraft will appeal Kest\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n
During court proceedings, a fellow abortionist admitted that babies are sometimes born alive and left \u201cwiggling around in the toilet\u201d until they died.<\/p>\n
The abortionist has a long history of legal issues that have included four suspensions of his Florida medical license.<\/p>\n
