Jury Rules Doctors Weren't Negligent in Ritter Case

According to the Los Angeles Times, two physicians accused of negligence in the 2003 death of actor John Ritter have been cleared by a Glendale, California jury in a 9-3 verdict. The lawsuit, filed by Mr. Ritter's wife, had contended that a radiologist missed an enlarged aorta from a routine body scan two years prior, and that a cardiologist missed signs that Mr. Ritter was suffering from an aortic dissection when he presented to the emergency room. The Los Angeles Times reported that Mr. Ritter's wife had already received $14 million from other medical defendants.
