Yurko Project Evidentiary Hearing Day 4

They believe, too

ORLANDO, Fla.—The fourth day of the Yurko Project evidentiary hearing brought

to the stand three witnesses for the prosecution who found the body of

evidence in this case indicated Yurko was guilty of shaking his baby to death.

While it appears Dr.s Siebel, Dr. Ben Gueddes and Tilelli truly

believe that Baby Alan died of injuries inflicted by the father, they also

admitted to not taking into consideration certain medical records and Baby

Alan’s

tragic medical history. Each witness also stated as fact things that defense

witnesses and YP supporters find impossible to believe.

The first witness of Day 4 was Dr. Siebel—a pediatrician fully who,

at the time had a thriving private practice and was a consultant for the

county’

s child protection team. Dr. Sibel was called in to analyze the situation for

possible child abuse. He explained that Baby Alan arrived at the hospital in “

grave condition†and was possibly “brain dead†by the time he examined him

the evening of Nov. 24, 1997.

There was no doubt in Dr. Siebel’s mind at that time Baby Alan’s rib

fractures, subdural hematomas and retinal hemorrhages were the result of child

abuse.

“One has to suffer a severe trauma to have retinal bleeding.â€

The prosecution also asked Dr. Siebel if there could be any relationship

between the administration of vaccines and Baby Alan’s injuries. “There is

nothing in the medical literature saying vaccines cause retinal bleeding and

subdural hematomas.â€

Point by point, the prosecution asked Dr. Siebel if Baby Alan’s injuries

could be explained by the factors contained in his prenatal history, post natal

complications or the treatment he received at the hospital. In each case Dr.

Siebel said, “No.â€

Upon cross examination, Yurko attorney Beth Fitzgibbons revealed several

inconsistencies in Dr. Siebel’s testimony. The most blatant having to do with

the civil action he filed against Fran Yurko for libel and slander regarding

comments posted to the Yurko Project website. He claimed that he was demanding

no monetary compensation from the suit. But, right on the lawsuit was a claim

for damages of $15,000.

Fitzgibbons asked Dr. Siebel if, presented with a child with all Baby Alan’s

existing health issues, would he vaccinate? His response was (contrary to

precautions on most vaccine package inserts) that these health issues “…are

not

an indication of withholding immunizations.â€

It was shocking to us all that these are the people responsible for

maintaining the standard of public health.

The second witness was Dr. Ben Gueddes—the emergency room physician who first

saw Baby Alan. Dr. Gueddes testified that he immediately believed that Baby

Alan’s condition was terminal. Within 6-7 hours he began administering heparin

to “keep his veins open,†but claims his treatment of Baby Alan was not for

the purpose of keeping his body alive for organ harvest.

Dr. Gueddes was a very passive witness, sad really. He said that he has never

heard of vaccines casing the kind of injuries suffered by Baby Alan and

admitted that, even though he agreed with the diagnosis of SBS, he did not keep

up

on the subject of SBS.

Like Dr. Siebel, Dr. Gueddes did not review any material about Baby Alan’s

medical history before coming to the conclusion that he was the victim of

intentionally inflicted trauma.

The final witness was pediatrician Tilelli who at least reviewed Baby

Alan’s prenatal history before testifying in support of the prosecution. Dr.

Tilelli was a mouthpiece for the pharmaceutical industry. He stated that Baby

Yurko was admitted 13 days after being vaccinated and it is impossible for his

injuries to be related to the vaccines because the medical literature explains

adverse reactions must occur within 72 hours to be considered as being the

result of the vaccines.

Dr. Tilelli also claims, “There is no scientifically credible way to

associate thimerosal with the injuries seen†in Baby Alan. He also believes

that the

mercury in thimerosal is perfectly safe.

According to Dr. Tilelli, “This child had three high-risk injuries associated

with trauma.†He gave “no scientific credence†to other opinions (those of

Dr. Buttram, Yazbak, Orient, Gardner, et. al) on this subject. Baby Alan died

as “…a consequence of inflicted injury.â€

The defense rested with Dr. Tilelli’s testimony. It appears the state’s case

relies on the opinions of Drs. Siebel and Gueddes whose actions directly

resulted in Yurko’s 1999 conviction and the opinion of a physician who uses a

selective smattering of medical literature to support claims that Baby Alan died

of child abuse.

The defense will call Dr. Harold Buttram back to the stand and then plans to

rest. It appears that the court will then recess for several hours then it

will hear final arguments in the afternoon.

We believe that the Yurko Project has been able to prove its case and that a

new trial will be granted. The prosecution did prove, however, that it

believes Yurko’s conviction was warranted.

The truth can be inferred from the following: To believe Yurko is innocent

requires an independent review of the evidence and a holistic understanding of

how the body works. Witnesses for Yurko were unassailable in their logic and

came from a broad background of experience to arrive at their conclusions about

Yurko’s innocence.

On the other hand, to believe Yurko is guilty requires one to accept

innumerable irregularities in the keeping of medical records, accept a

mechanistic

model of the human body as the governing principle of health, to disregard the

personal conflicts of interest inherent in the appearance of prosecution

witnesses and take on faith explanations that defy cause and effect

relationships

between toxins, medical complications and the human frame.

Please take this time to say another prayer and prepare for a victory in this

case. Then realize when Yurko is granted a new trial, our work will have only

just begun.
