Attempted Harvest - Witnesses offer new details in organ case
Witness accounts offer new details of Ruben Navarro's final hours and how an attempt to recover his organs went wrong in the hands of an inexperienced transplant team and unprepared staff at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center.
The witness statements to law enforcement were filed Monday in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court when prosecutors charged San Francisco transplant surgeon Hootan Roozrokh, 33, with three felonies related to his alleged attempt last year to hasten Navarro's death.
