GREKOS HEARING DAY 3-REMLIVE


SINCE HEARING STARTED THE COURTROOM HAS BEEN FILLED WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND PATIENTS, ALL WITH VERY DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING-- THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB KEEPING THEIR STRONG FEELINGS TO THEMSELVES AND KEEPING QUIET IN THE COURTROOM-- UNTIL TODAY. Return to index of stories...


GREKOS HEARING DAY 3-BNR-PKG


Families members from both sides of a medical malpractice hearing-- caught in a tense moment.

Daughter: "I'm not moving"

Doctor zannos grekos' wife asks the bailiff to kick the family of grekos' deceased patient out of the courtroom for being disruptive.

The patients daughter, in tears, fired back with a curse.

She was asked to stay quiet.

"15:20:18 I'm crying, I'm sorry I'll bite my lip until I stop crying."

Doctor Grekos is in court fighting for his right to practice medicine. The state suspended his medical license after two of his patients died following a controversial stem cell procedure performed at his bonita springs office.

This case focuses on the first patient-- Domenica fitzgerald-- a breast cancer survivor who hoped the treatment would heal nerve problems caused by chemotherapy.

Dr. Patrick mathias, cardiologist

"15:31:32 this procedure should never have been done and placed the patient at considerable risk 40"

A cardiologist testifying for the state says it was inevitable that the procedure would lead to a stroke.

Dr. Patrick mathias, cardiologist

16:04"There's no way an individual can consent to a procedure like this if they were told that they are highly likely or definitely going to have a stroke 13

The defense says grekos is not at fault and did everything he could to help fitzgerald.

Grekos' patients took the stand to defend their doctor--saying they knew the risks of the procedure, and owe their lives to grekos.

Grekos' mother and fitzgeralds close friend , says she helped care for her after the procedure-- and says fitzgerald was healthy when she got home. She claims a fall is what injured the recovering patient.

Grekos' patients also took the stand to defend their doctor--saying they knew the risks of the procedure, and owe their lives to grekos. Return to index of stories...


GREKOS HEARING DAY 3-REMLIVE


TRIAL IS EXPECTED TO WRAP UP TOMORROW-- BUT WE WON'T GET A DECISION FROM JUDGE FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS.

EVEN IF GREKOS WINS THIS CASE-- HE WON'T GET HIS MEDICAL LICENSE REINSTATED. IT WILL STILL BE SUSPENDED BC OF THE CASE RELATED TO A SECOND PATIENT THAT DIED. HEARING FOR THAT STARTS IN FEBRUARY. Return to index of stories...

"three months to the day from when Cape Coral police officers discovered 91-year Leroy Taylor beaten to death and drenched in gasoline in this bedroom, the carpets have been replaced and it is as if the brutal killing never even happened."

4833 "if I was selling a house where a murder took place, I'd be disclosing it."

REALTOR MARC JOSEPH -- WHO ISN'T INVOLVED WITH THIS PROPERTY -- STRESSES YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF.

UNDER FLORIDA LAW -- LANDLORDS AND SELLERS DO NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU IF A MURDER, SUICIDE, OR DEATH HAPPENED IN YOUR NEW DOMAIN.

HE TELLS US -- TRUST YOURSELF, AND START KNOCKING ON DOORS.

4957 "this is the number 1 source of information. I say you go on the internet. I say you ask the realtor, your neighbors are the number 1 piece of information."

FROM SEARCHING THE WEB FOR YOUR NEW HOME'S ADDRESS TO CHECKING WITH POLICE -- NAPOLITAN AGREES -- HE WISHES HE DID THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

3543 "research, research, research."

NOW -- HE'S MOVING OUT AND HOPING TO PUT THIS NIGHTMARE BEHIND HIM.

NBC2'S ALEX BOYER REPORTS FROM CAPE CORAL. Return to index of stories...


EVANS OIL IN THE CAPE-BNR-PKG


Vicky bateman tells me her primary concern was to keep the city's 800 vehicles - many of them police and fire trucks - moving.

So she asked council to give her the go ahead to switch fuel vendors.

Council said yes. But just one week later, bateman decided to give evans another chance.

-victoria bateman/city finance director-"evans ended up being purchased through receivership after going bankrupt so once evans was up it took about a week or so to get back in business delivering. But as soon as they were we picked them back up."

Bateman tells me so far so good. Fuel deliveries are made twice per week, and are being made on time. Return to index of stories...

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL


THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

VERY FEW SHOWERS

Weather conditions for the next few days will continue to be pretty quiet here in southwest Florida. I expect a few, mainly inland, showers this evening and the steering winds off the Gulf of Mexico will keep pushing the very limited rain showers to the other side of the state. Generally, a partly cloudy sky and temperatures slowly falling into the 70's will be the forecast tonight.

Tomorrow's weather looks similar to today. We will see lots of sunshine in the morning and partly cloudy weather by the afternoon. Temperatures on Friday will start in the lower 70's and end up in the mid 80's by late day. Rain chances will still be less than 20% tomorrow. Only a few showers are possible as a weak front moves across central Florida and gets weaker over us.

Get ready for a really nice, fall weekend in southwest Florida. Lots of sunshine is on the way and it looks like we will have our first "cool" morning on Sunday! With clear skies and a light northerly breeze, the computer forecasts are predicting a low on Sunday morning around 65 degrees! That temperature won't be anywhere near a record, but it should be the first morning this season with a really different "feel" outside! Return to index of stories...

BOB MAZZUCA/BOY SCOUT CEO /// AS YOU KNOW OUR MOTTO IS BE PREPARED

THOUSANDS OF SECRET FILES.

Tim Kosnoff/Attorney // 23:31 The boy scouts were concerned that this was some sort of black list. 23:34

.COMPILED BY TOP SCOUTING OFFICIALS.

NEARLY 100 SPREAD OUT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS IN LARGE CITIES LIKE MIAMI, TAMPA AND ORLANDO.

PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST DISTURBING?

A CASE IN NEW PORT RICHEY.

THIS FILE SHOWS, IN 1972, A SCOUTING OFFICIAL WAS SEEN HAVING SEX WITH A BOY.

REPORTS SAY A MEETING WAS HELD BETWEEN LEADERS AND HE WAS ASKED TO RESIGN.

THE CASE NEVER REPORTED TO POLICE.

A 1983 TAMPA FILE STATES THE SCOUTS MADE AN 'AUDIO' TAPE OF A SCOUT LEADER HAVING ORAL SEX WITH A CAMPER.

HE WAS PLACED ON THE SCOUTS INELIGIBLE LIST.

NOTHING IN THE FILE SHOWS THE CASE REPORTED TO POLICE…

Tim Kosnoff/Attorney // In many of those instances they actively discouraged the scout from going to the police or even disclosing it to the scouts parents.

ATTORNEY TIM KOSNOFF REPRESENTED 150 BOY SCOUTS WHO WERE ALLEGEDLY VICTIMIZED; COLLECTING MORE THAN 3200 SECRET FILES.

INCLUDING A 1978 CASE IN FORT MYERS.

SCOUT LEADER WILLIAM CURLS WAS *CONVICTED OF LEWD ACTS INVOLVING HIS NEIGHBOR'S DAUGHTER.

HIS CASE PLACED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL FILES.

HE REMAINS LISTED AS A SEXUAL OFFENDER NOW.SOME 34 YEARS LATER.

AND IN 1986 THEN CAPE CORAL RESIDENT ALAN RICHARD MORRIS WAS ACCUSED OF LEWD ACTS ON FOUR BOYSCOUTS.

HE WAS SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS PROBATION AND 7 YEARS IN PRISON.

HIS SECRET FILE SHOWS SCOUT MASTERS KEPT NEWS PAPER CLIPPINGS OF HIS CASE, BANNING HIM FOR LIFE.

Wayne Perry/Chief Scout Executive// :16 There's no question that times in the past these go back to 40 to 50 years old. where we did not do the job we should have been done. For that and people hurt we're profoundly sorry.

WAYNE PERRY, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZATION SAYS DESPITE ALL OF THIS HE BELIEVES THE ORGANIZATION WILL SURVIVE AND GROW.

BOY SCOUT FILES-WX CHAIR, 2-SHOT


BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA TELS ME THEY ARE NOW SIFTING THROUGH DECADES OF DOCUMENTS AND PLAN TO REPORT THOSE WHO MAY HAVE FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS.

BUT ATTORNIES REPRESENTING THE VICTIMS SAY THAT WILL DO LITTLE GOOD SINCE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS RUN OUT ON MANY OF THESE OLD CASES.

DAVE, WHY WERE THESE FILES RELEASED NOW? 40-SOME YEARS AFTER THEY WERE CREATED?

ITS BECAUSE A SCOUT SUED THE ORGANIZATION CLAIMING HE WAS MOLESTED BY A SCOUT LEADER.

A JUDGE ORDERED THE DOCUMENTS UNSEALED.

WE HAVE JUST A FRACTION OF THOSE FILES. WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THE OTHER 14-THOUSAND PAGES.
