ARTHUR HAWES, M.D. and FERRELL-DUNCAN CLINIC, INC., Defendants- Missouri Cases

Julia Ann Richardson sued Dr. Arthur Hawes and Ferrell-Duncan Clinic, Inc. for medical negligence related to cosmetic surgeries. A jury found in favor of the defendants. On appeal, Richardson contended the trial court erred by admitting certain demonstrative exhibits during the defendants' expert testimony, arguing they contained inadmissible hearsay and were not properly authenticated. The Southern District affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error in the admission of the exhibits and concluding that Richardson failed to preserve one argument and did not demonstrate prejudice for the other.
