Talk:Ann Arbor Hospital murders

Untitled
There is a slight error on this page: The page makes reference to a "lead witness" for the prosecution making racist remarks about the two Filipina nurses. Given the citation, this may have been reported in Ms. Choy's book (I haven't read it). But in actuality, the man who made those comments never took the stand. His last name was Neely (couldn't find his first name) and he was set to be one of the main witnesses for the prosecution, in fact the defense unsuccessfully motioned to prevent his testimony, but then prosecutors dropped him from their list of witnesses, for reasons unreleased at the time.

The sarcastic use of the term "cracking" in quotation marks is flagrantly prejudiced against the prosecution and betrays an inappropriate bias in favor of the accused. This is most egregiously displayed in the assertion that the nurses were "vindicated in the eyes of the law." This is not true. The verdict was overturned because of transgressions by the prosecution, but the prosecution was given permission for a retrial. This is not a "vindication." It is also flagrantly biased to write, "Narciso and Perez had suffered terribly and unnecessarily as a result of their lengthy trial process." This statement is an overt assertion of their innocence. I am amending the text to amend these problems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmacewen (talk • contribs) 01:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I read an account of this case in paperback (200-400pp?) in 1977. The author gave an account of six patients whose cause of death was cerebral anoxia secondary to chemically-induced respiratory arrest. Each post-mortem serum analysis detected succinylcholine, a curare-like paralytic. The author concluded that since the case against Narciso and Perez was so flimsy, the real killer(s) had gone without apprehension, and that (s)he would eventually kill again, most likely at another V.A. hospital. I have been unsuccessful in attempts to find this reference, can anyone else help?W8IMP (talk) 03:29, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
