Not a lot of actual information but the short deliberation time it was probably not high quality care if I had to guess

His TO said it was cool.

There’s really no details in the article. I’d really like to know what exactly “…decided to readjust the tube” means and why exactly the tube needed to be readjusted. I’m curious how the jury went from the procedure facility jamming an endoscopy tube down his throat to the paramedic killed him? But juries can be dumb, they thought OJ didn’t do it.

…he woke up and had to be intubated and taken to the hospital to make sure his lungs were OK, said Paboojian.

This is a wonderfully vague lawyerly statement. I have a thousand questions and it would be nice if the media actually did some follow through in their reporting for once. I would’ve loved to have been the investigator on this case.
