Charlie Weis Gets No Restitution

A few years ago, when he was still with the New England Patriots, Charlie Weis had gastric bypass surgery because he thought he was too heavy to be considered a candidate for a head coaching job.
But his surgery went wrong and he almost died. After which he said "Al Roker can take all that happy shit and shove it up his ass."
Weis should have known that no surgery is without risks, but he blames his doctors.
Weis says Drs. Ferguson and Hodin acted negligently by failing to recognize life-threatening internal bleeding and infection after his surgery.
The case went to trial, Tom Brady testified on Weis' behalf but a mistrial was declared.
A juror collapsed and all the doctors in the courtroom, including the two defendants, rushed to his aid.
After that, Weis' lawyers called for a mistrial evidently feeling as if that juror, and the other jurors, would look favorably upon the doctors.

doesn't look like the surgery worked

The juror was probably just a USC fan out to screw with Weis. He did it too.
