"Inside the Maya Kowalski Trial: 5 Riveting Courtroom Moments"

Maya Kowalski and her family were awarded over $260 million in damages after a Florida jury found that the actions of staff at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHAC) drove Maya's mother to suicide. The hospital had accused Maya's mother of medical abuse and temporarily separated Maya from her parents. 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.
