CHICAGO, IL, February 23, 2013 (Press-News.org) David S. Lipschultz of Goldberg Weisman Cairo has filed a civil rights lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, on behalf of Diangelo Beasley against three former Schaumburg Police Officers currently being charged with multiple felonies in DuPage County.
On June 27, 2012, Mr. Diangelo Beasley was falsely arrested and beaten by former Schaumburg Police Officers John Cichy, Matthew Hudak and Terrance O'Brien. Mr. Diangelo was not committing any crimes or bad acts whatsoever. Instead, Mr. Beasley was the victim of these police officers' long-running campaign of delivering illegal drugs, criminal conspiracy, official misconduct, armed violence and theft. A joint investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the DuPage County authorities led to the arrest of these three police officers on January 16, 2013.
In addition to facing the injustice of being wrongfully incarcerated for over seven months as a result of the acts of corrupt police officers, Mr. Beasley also was deprived of enjoying time with his baby daughter, Rosina, who was born one month before his false arrest. During his incarceration Mr. Beasley could only observe Rosina through a glass jail window.
While watching television in a Cook County Jail dayroom, Mr. Beasley learned of the arrest of the Schaumburg police officers and he saw footage of the very officers who had falsely arrested and beaten him. Mr. Beasley felt that he would finally get some justice. Indeed, he was released from jail a few weeks later, as Cook County prosecutors have dismissed his criminal case and over a dozen others because they had been arrested by the accused Schaumburg officers.
Mr. Beasley faced the prospect of up to 30 years in prison due to the false charged manufactured by the officers.
Mr. Beasley and his attorneys at Goldberg Weisman Cairo are suing these officers for false arrest and excessive force, and have also set forth a claim for negligent supervision against the Village of Schaumburg for failing to stop these officers earlier.
Mr. Beasley's case was the subject of an article in the Chicago Sun-Times on February 19, 2013, by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Frank Main.

Texas mistaken paternity: Can DNA prove you are not the father?
2013-02-23
Imagine the pain of discovering you may not really be the father of a child you thought was yours and for whom you are legally the parent. In Texas, the law provides a way for such a man to learn the truth through the court system and set things right.
The Texas court proceeding is one for "mistaken paternity," sometimes called "paternity fraud." The only person with the right to bring a mistaken paternity action is a legal father who is questioning his parentage when no DNA testing was ever done. This law addresses the particular situation when a ...
Medication errors frequently underreported in hospitals
2013-02-23
If a person experiences an injury or illness that requires medical care, he or she will often schedule an appointment with a familiar doctor or physician. These relationships lead patients to trust the decisions made by their doctors, in the hopes that the treatment will cure the injuries or illnesses.
However, mistakes in hospitals are an all-too-frequent occurrence. A recent study discussed the rate of medication errors happening in hospitals across the country. Some of these errors even led to the death or serious injury of the patient, which could potentially subject ...

Drug delivery strategy eliminates myotonia symptoms in mice with myotonic dystrophy
2013-02-22
New Rochelle, NY, February 21, 2013—By targeting the specific mutation that causes the hereditary neuromuscular disease myotonic dystrophy, it is possible to neutralize the mutant RNA toxicity and minimize or even eliminate the disabling symptoms of the disease. New classes of drugs called antisense oligonucleotides are being designed to achieve this.

Greater representation of elderly patients in Phase III trials are needed
2013-02-22
DENVER – The median age of patients diagnosed with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has steadily increased over the recent years and is presently 70 years.

Researchers conclude that greater representation ...
