Former Coach Loses Court Case

According to a report on ESPN.com former Patriots offensive coordinator and current Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weiss has lost his malpractice suit.  The jury took very little time to deliberate the case, and found in favor of the defendants, the two doctors in charger of Weiss’s operation.  The case was a retrial, after the first case ended in a mistrial.  The charges stemmed from a botched “stomach stapling” operation Weiss underwent.  After the surgery, he bled internally for 30 hours and nearly died.  Weiss claims to still have problems stemming from the surgery and was pursuing the malpractice case because of said problems.

Weiss, while obviously unhappy with the verdict, will now be able to focus all his energies on coaching the Irish this year.  Weiss has been embroiled in this particular lawsuit for some time, and while he surely would have liked to have seen a different outcome, at the end of the day, at least now it’s finally over.
