In addition to the above-mentioned testimony of Andrea
Sprecher, Judy Goldsberry—Weber, a subordinate of Johnson indicated that Johnson claimed to be in charge of Lisa’s care. Weber testified that Johnson was a deputy in the Medical Liaison Office who was responsible for handling staff employees in their dealings with health related professionals. Emma Schainerhorn was the deputy Medical Liasion Office with parallel responsibilities over non-staff parishioners. When Lisa was allowed to leave Morton Plant on Saturday, November 18, 1995, Goldsberry-Weber, a subordinate of Johnson in the CSFSO Medical Liasion Office, had promised Dr. Lovett (who she knew from prior dealings) that Lisa would receive necessary care. Weber testified that she was initially told that Emma Schamerhorn would take care of Lisa the first night. about two days into Lisa’s stay, Weber asked Johnson how Lisa was doing. Johnson told Weber to not ask any questions about Lisa that Weber was no longer involved. Some days later, she asked Janice how Lisa was doing in case she ran into Dr. Lovett and he asked about her. According to Weber, they wound up getting in a screaming match after Janice said "you don’t have to worry about him, I’m in charge. Butt out.” |
