“At that moment when the mother of the victim is forced to participate in court and relive these events, obviously the victim yearns for some kind of justice from this process. Of course, it is impossible to bring back a dead person, but when we are in court, we hope for justice.” , – says sworn lawyer Janis Dzanushkans on TV24, commenting on the case of a doctor through whose fault a young woman died.
Of course, the decision of the first instance could not create such a feeling among the participants in the process. Several issues arose during the process that the defense believed were handled unfairly or improperly, and an appeal was prepared and filed against the process.
“What is very pleasant is that, apparently, due to a certain amount of media attention, the management of the prosecutor’s office also focused their attention on this particular process, and now it is known that the superior prosecutor filed a protest with a request to punish this particular person much more than was done in the court of first instance .
This is a relatively rare case because the prosecution has changed its position.
Before this, the prosecutor’s office asked for one year of probation, now they have changed their mind, and we, as the defense, are pleased to see that the prosecutor’s office is not just trying to do nothing, defending the honor of his uniform, but is actively interfering, demanding that the suspended sentence be replaced with a real deprivation of life! – the lawyer points out.
As reported, the Zemgale District Court sentenced former Emergency Medical Service (EMS) paramedic Gint Veits to a year in prison and banned him from practicing medicine for four years for leaving 31-year-old Alina Ansone unconscious in the hospital and not providing assistance. .
He partially admitted his guilt in court, but completely denied it in a conversation with Latvian television.
Alina became an organ donor after her death, giving a chance to life to five people, but the feeling of injustice and loss does not subside for Alina’s family to this day.
This court decision shows that human life is not a priority.
When Alina’s cousin’s wedding was being celebrated and the celebrations continued, the young woman may have fallen. The others found her when she was already unconscious. The EMS team arrived from Kauguri, assistant doctor Whites advised putting the victim to bed, and refused to take the woman to the hospital. The young woman was taken to Stradins the next day, but it was no longer possible to save the woman, as brain death had occurred.
After her death, five transplantations were done, Alina’s heart now beats in another person.
The medic was immediately fired.
