The court a prison sentence of three years in Almelo Jansen Steur laid in 2014, but the court acquitted him of the main charge in 2015.
That statement is not destroyed, the Supreme Court Tuesday decided. The acquittal is sufficiently motivated by the court.
Jansen Steur worked until 2003 years as a neurologist at the Medical Spectrum Twente. In that period, he would have several patients misdiagnosis and example have notified them wrongly that they suffered from a serious illness.
Jansen Steur patients told among other things that they had Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis, whereas that was not the case. The patients took years of heavy medication without that it was necessary
Court
In 2014, the court ruled that the health of those patients suffered serious injury at the hands of Jansen Steur. The neurologist had no substantiation for his diagnoses and signals that the diagnoses were incorrect, he ignored systematically.
Moreover, the court considered it proven that committed one patient suicide after hearing a false diagnosis of a fatal disease. Jansen Steur finally got an unconditional prison sentence of three years.
Free Speech
In 2015, the court came to the conclusion that Jansen Steur had to be acquitted. Jansen Steur would have given it misdiagnoses, but evidence of intent, there is hardly. This neurologist itself always maintained.
During the appeal Jansen Steur was declared by experts diminished responsibility because of his previous drug addiction beverage. His lawyer also alleged that his client has made mistakes because of brain injury that he sustained in a car accident. The court found that unlikely, but could not rule it.
The prosecution went to the Supreme Court to allow re-examine the case because, according to prosecutors or intent in the game should be. In March, the Advocate General advised not to destruction of the appeal decision.
