> What was the court's reasoning for denying the appeal?
I don't know. The layer wouldn't talk to me (because client confidentiality, despite the fact that my subject was wiling to sign a release). I learned about the appeal results through my subject, who was not an entirely reliable source. It was emotionally wrenching for me just to watch him talk about it. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for him.
It's possible that there are public court records if you really want to know. If you know how to look these things up contact me off line and I'll give you the info you would need to locate the records.
> This sounds terrible, unfair, and unjust.
Yes. That was kind of the point.
However, there is more to the story. If you want to know you'll have to watch the film :-) You can find it on iTunes and Amazon. But I'll tell you this: the subject was a psychologist with a masters degree.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoThanks for your work in creating the documentary. My mother went through a very similar situation to your subject who was denied, and died shortly after her final denial. People don’t understand just how arbitrary the outcomes are of the system.
