I don’t know why my comment a few days ago didn’t go through. It may have been a connection issue.)
IIRC the doctors missed an internal stomach bleed in Yankel Rosenbaum because they were sidetracked with then Mayor David Dinkins’ visit. Don’t know if this makes sense, but at least this was the reason given at that time.
And Charlie, only because of Yankel’s (הי”ד) brother Nachman zt”l using virtually every legal and PR angle over many years did Lemrick Nelson end up doing time, for violating his civil rights no less. NYC does not deserve any credit for whatever bit of justice was meted out in the end.
