From Hung Jury to $24M Victory - Part 1: A Tale of Two Elder Abuse Trials
Description
In the first part of this After Action Review, trial attorneys Karman Guadagni and Kelsey Craven break down the first of two trials in the elder abuse case of Donahue vs MBK Senior Living.
What began as a strong case involving multiple falls, understaffing, and COVID-era failures ended in a hung jury - despite five weeks of trial. This episode dives into the legal strategy, discovery hurdles, staffing document destruction, and what went wrong (and right) in Trial #1.
From preference deadlines to pandemic courtrooms, it’s a candid look at how foundation gets laid - even when the verdict doesn’t land.
