Alameda County Superior Court November 2025

Several jailers and one doctor were charged with causing the death of an inmate at the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin. The client, a doctor on staff at the jail, was charged with abuse of a dependent adult (an inmate) based primarily on a theory of neglect of the inmate’s medical needs.

Counsel provided the prosecutor with a detailed chronology that showed that after the inmates’ initial psychological evaluation, he was moved to another part of the jail that Client did not work in. Client tried to get the medical staff to assist the inmate but no one responded to his emails.

Once the DA reviewed all the evidence they realized the charges should be dismissed in the interest of justice.
