Nigeria Doctor who was convicted over the death of boy in the UK Loses Appeal.


A doctor who was convicted over the death of
a six-year-old boy has lost her appeal. Dr
Hadiza Bawa-Garba was convicted, along with
agency nurse Isabel Amaro, of the
manslaughter of Jack Adcock at Nottingham
Crown Court in November last year. .
.
Jack, who had Down's syndrome and a heart
condition, died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in
February 2011, hours after being admitted with
sickness and vomiting. He was treated by
Doctor Hadiza Bawa-Garba and nurse Isabel
Amaro. Doctor didn't resuscitate him as she
had him confused with another patient
Bawa-Garba argued before three senior judges
in London that her trial was unfair because the
judge misdirected the jury.
But Sir Brian Leveson ruled : 'We have come
to clear conclusion that none of the grounds of
appeal are, in fact, arguable'. Jack's parents,
Nicky and Vic, who live in Glen Parva,
Leicestershire, were not in court to hear the
decision.
