An attorney is receiving backlash for a celebration video about his malpractice case victory. Did he go too far?
During the closing arguments in a $10 million malpractice trial, attorney Robert McKenna III told jurors the claims against his client, a gastroenterologist, were baseless and equivalent to “extortion.” The patient’s family blamed the gastroenterologist for their father’s death, alleging the doctor perforated his colon during insertion of a feeding tube.
However, McKenna, from Huntington Beach, California, described the case very differently to his staff in a celebration video, which he never expected to become public.Twitter and Instagram, McKenna brags about how his legal team convinced jurors to doubt the patient’s official cause of death. He says the lawsuit involved a guy “that was probably negligently killed, but we kind of made it look like other people did it.
“Overcoming all of those hurdles, we managed to sock three lawyers in the face,” McKenna says, referring to the plaintiffs’ lawyers.
