Doctor Denied New Trial for Rape
Arif Hussain and Alan Lefkowitz, former Harvard-affiliated doctors, have been denied new trials for their 1981 gang rape conviction of a nurse. The Massachusetts Appeals Court found no sufficient grounds for reconsideration, upholding prior rulings. The doctors argued that the trial judge made legal errors and failed to instruct the jury properly on consent. However, the court ruled that the jury instructions were clear. Hussain is currently practicing in Pakistan, and Lefkowitz's current status is unspecified.| Creator |
