Doctor Convicted of Manslaughter for Overprescribing Painkillers
After a four-month trial, Dr. Stan Xuhui Li was convicted in July of two counts of manslaughter, as well as reckless endangerment and criminal sale of a prescription controlled substance, among other things. The jury took six days to deliberate before convicting the doctor on 200 of the 211 charges against him stemming from his prescription of pain killers to 20 people from his Flushing, Queens, NY, office, from which he worked one day per week. His main practice was in New Jersey, where he worked as an anesthesiologist. Perhaps explaining the unusual decision to charge the doctor with manslaughter, rather than just prescribing offenses, New York City's Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan said, following the conviction, “My office devoted more than three years and countless resources to this case because we believed that the public needed protection from criminally reckless conduct that purported to be medical treatment but resulted in loss of life, addiction, and harm to patients.” The doctor has been ordered held without bail pending his sentencing this month.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.
