The couple establishes a settlement after the graphic photo of the doctor of their deceased child
In July 2023, Jessica Ross was at the Southern Regional Medical Center in Riverdale, ready to welcome her first child, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr. but things took a tragic turn when the baby was stuck during childbirth due to the shoulder dystocia. The shoulders of the unborn child were taken in the pelvic area of Ross, causing serious complications during birth. According to the trial, Dr Tracey St. Julian used excessive force on the baby’s head and neck, which would have led to beheading.
After hours of work, Ross had a cesarean, but the baby’s body and head were delivered separately. Ross and Taylor’s package of joy did not do it. A few days later, a pathologist, Dr. Jackson Gates, made an autopsy. The couple hired him to determine what led to the disappearance of the baby to be born after the problems to manage the case in the hospital. But what the couple did not know is that Gates would continue to share the autopsy with their supporters on social networks.
The doctor and his business are ordered to pay this couple
A jury from Fulton county has now granted the couple $ 2.25 million in compensatory damages. They also received $ 250,000 in punitive damages. The decision holds the doors responsible for emotional distress and the invasion of privacy caused by the decision to publish the autopsy. Wednesday, June 18, following the judgment, the lawyers representing the parents declared in a press release NBC News:
“While we are happy that a jury punished Dr. Jackson Gates for his reprehensible behavior,” they said. “Nothing can alleviate the pain that parents, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Sr., experienced their little boy’s loss in such a horrible way.”
The couple would have paid $ 2,500 for Gates to have a private autopsy. In July 2023, he published a video on IG showing their baby’s cut head. Done against the trial, Gates stressed that he had not mentioned the name of the deceased in the photo. He also said that he had not raped Hipaa with his actions.
“It is not required by a doctor to obtain his consent to report a crime or a kind of health problem to the public,” Gates said at the time. “I have been doing this for 15 years, by publishing my autopsy cases to explain to the public the victimization of deceased people.”
Doors’ lawyer, IRA LOVNATsaid he educated his audience without malicious intention, according to the New York Post. However, the jury was not convinced and awarded Ross and Taylor, who would be paid by Jackson and his business, Medical Diagnostics Choices.
More details on the proceedings awaiting the couple
But there is more. Ross and Taylor are still fighting with two other proceedings after their victory. One is addressed to Dr. St. Julian, the doctor who delivered the baby, for serious negligence, would have botched the procedure by not asking for a safeguard or by making a cesarean earlier.
The other trial would be against the Southern Regional Medical Center due to the treatment of the baby’s delivery to his care. The County Legalist at County of Clayton called for the disappearance of the child to be born of the couple in January 2024. Death was charged to a broken neck and the spinal cord of the complications of childbirth.
