Grace Schara Trial Day 9 LIVE – Barkholtz Cross & What’s Next in COVID Consent Clash

Day 9 of the Grace Schara wrongful-death trial kicks off live from Outagamie County Circuit Court in Appleton, WI. After yesterday’s defense trio—Dr. Brian Garibaldi, PharmD Nicholas Sylvia, and head nurse Alison Barkholtz—blamed COVID and the family, today we pick up mid–cross-examination of Barkholtz and look ahead to Ascension’s remaining witnesses.

What to watch on Day 9:

Alison Barkholtz Cross-Exam: Will the jury hear more on why she insists Grace’s father is at fault?

Next Defense Witness: Ascension has signaled one or two specialists left to defend the sedation protocol and consent practices.

Judge’s Courtroom Order: Last evening, Judge McGinnis warned disruptive spectators to remain silent—or be removed—and a juror briefly considered stepping down before choosing to stay and submit questions.

Key Issues: Informed-consent law vs. “blanket” admission consent; the Precedex–lorazepam–morphine regimen; and whether COVID protocols justify bypassing family power-of-attorney.

This trial tests the limits of patient rights, hospital accountability, and COVID-era medical standards. Tune in for expert breakdowns, real-time legal analysis, and live community Q&A as Day 9 unfolds.
