Judge Lewis Steps Down
Lewis Leaves Case
Juvenile Court Judge Carl Lewis stepped aside Thursday in the case of 13-year-old cancer patient Katie Wernecke.
With that decision, Katie's case will be assigned to a new judge as she begins a long-delayed course of chemotherapy to treat her Hodgkin's disease.
Lewis has been at the center of the high-profile case since this summer, when he ordered Katie into the care of state officials. Her parents, Edward and Michele Wernecke, had resisted traditional forms of medical treatment for her cancer and had been accused of medical neglect...
About the hell time. Hopefully this new judge's pockets aren't being lined by Pfizer and the pharmaceuticals. It's time that Katie's rights were considered, instead of the rights of these huge corporations to experiment on "minors".
