John Hopkins All Children's Hospital has filed for a retrial in the case brought by Netflix's Maya Kowalski, just two weeks after she was awarded $261 million in damages.

The trial revealed dramatic moments, including Maya describing her last visit with her mother, the playing of a 911 call reporting her mother's suicide, the presentation of a letter Maya wrote to her mother, the sharing of emails written by Beata Kowalski, and the testimony of a pediatrician who accused Beata of medical abuse. The hospital plans to appeal the jury's decision.
