All substantive updates will be posted below.

Update on 8.30.25:

  • Fixed Jules Martin’s affidavit referring to Andy Parr as “Vivian”. The correct name is Andy Parr.

  • Fixed Jules Martin’s affidavit referring to Langford Hospital as “Langdell”. The correct name is Langford.

  • Fixed Dr. Alex Zusak’s expert report to say “retained” instead of “obtained” by the Plaintiff.

  • Other grammatical fixes.

  • Fixed a typo in Dr. Alex Zusak's report where it says he "examined the label on the syringe" (Line 45). Zusak examined the label on the bottle; Exhibit 3 is an accurate depiction of the syringe.

  • Fixed a typo in Dr. Elias Hornby's affidavit where it says "from which I extracted the Lorazepam" (Line 79). Hornby did not fill the syringe himself, as is described elsewhere in his affidavit.

Update on 9.19.25:

  • Fixed Exhibit 2 (autopsy report) to show Arthur Henley's age as 77 and not 47.

  • Fixed Hornby affidavit: Added “Ketamine also comes in different concentrations. You see, I know from my years of being a doctor that the hospital gets regular shipments of drugs, like ketamine and lorazepam. While lorazepam is usually in relatively low concentrations, ketamine always comes in substantially higher concentrations. So if a syringe was filled with the same volume of lorazepam solution and ketamine solution, there would be a much higher dose of ketamine." (Lines 98-101)

  • Fixed Martin affidavit: Changed the names of Hornby's children to be consistent with the will.

  • Fixed Exhibit 2 and synopsis: Changed nephew to physician in the statement/synopsis of the case to address gender neutrality for Hornby.

Update on 9.23.25:

  • Updated the jury instructions regarding the prongs of Medical Malpractice to say "harm" instead of "death"

Update on 11.3.25:

  • Added two new witnesses (one for the Plaintiff, one for the Defense). Edited special instructions to clarify that each side can only call two of the three available witnesses per round. Corrected some pronoun usage.

Update on 11.15.25:

  • AFFIDAVIT OF RILEY KWON - Line 71 - Changed “I doubt Henley did it on purpose” to replace Henley with Hornby

  • AFFIDAVIT OF FINLEY RIVERAS - Line 7 - Delete “I grew up in Tilly, but I left for college and” and replace with “I graduated from the University of Chicago…”

  • AFFIDAVIT OF DR. ELIAS HORNBY - Lines 47-51 - Add “I will note that throughout the procedure, Finley seemed to sway a little on their feet. Their words were a bit slurred, and they told me that they had been feeling dizzy. I asked what they had been doing the night prior for these symptoms, and Finley told me, “I had been out with some friends. No big deal. We just hit up a sorority party. I’m all good. I slept it off last night.” I do not know what “it” refers to, but I thought it would be relevant to include.”

  • Fixed grammatical and pronoun errors through all witnesses.

  • AFFIDAVIT OF JULES EVAN MARTIN - Lines 120-122 - For “I know that Elias and Arthur were never on the best terms. It was my understanding that Arthur had only paid off Elias’s medical bills because his sister had helped him grow his assets.,” replace “sister” with “brother.”

  • AFFIDAVIT OF JULES EVAN MARTIN - Lines 74-75 - For “I heard from Arthur that he had paid for Elias’s medical school as one last tribute to his deceased sister, who had been Elias’s mother.” Replace “sister” with “brother;” “mother” with “father.”

  • EXHIBIT 2 - Delete “his nephew.”
