In a statement taken from Alain Kartuzinski on December 4, 1995, he admitted transporting Lisa McPherson from Morton Plant Hospital to the Scientologist’s Ft. Harrison Hotel in Clearwater.

Dr. Minkoff said that he had several conversations with Janis Johnson and Alain Kartuzinski concerning drugs that were given to Lisa McPherson (pages 15-25, deposition transcript).

Dr. Minkoff testified that Alain Kartuzinski called requesting chioral-hydrate for Lisa McPherson (page 87, lines 1-15, deposition transcript).

Dr. Minkoff testified concerning Janis Johnson’s ability to care for Lisa. He said, “Well, I knew she was a medical doctor. She was... she had been in practice. I mean, she was a professional.

She, I thought, could examine a patient and had an understanding of the process that was going ( )on, so I thought that it would be safe to do that with her there” (page 88, lines 23-25 and page 89,

lines 1-3, deposition transcript).
