Given these four years of the MBC wasting limited financial, legal and judicial resources on this one case, it is little wonder the State of California is in a budget crisis. With neither fear of consequences nor rebuke, Brian West MD’s case is a perfect example of how employees of the State of California can perpetually waste tax payer’s money while attempting to destroy respected professionals such as Dr. West who refuse to surrender to the bureaucrats’ illegal demands. It has taken nearly two years for all the original complaints to be removed from the current accusation against Brian West. During that time, the MBC sat back and gave Tina Minasian, Linda Starr, Judy McDonald of Auburn, Becky Anderson, Julie Fellmeth, “Consumer Reporter” Kurtis Ming and company political cover to denigrate Dr. West throughout the press and internet while concomitantly perpetuating their false manufactured accusations. Two years later, the MBC throws out the complaints. They knew all along they had no case. They knew these “complaints” were manufactured and solicited by Tina Minasian and her co-conspirator, Kurtis Ming of Channel 13. They knew Kurtis Ming put those who enquired to his sensationalized reports in contact with Tina Minasian so she could solicit them to make complaints. They also knew these complaints were actually written by Tina Minasian, not the person making the “false” complaint. The current accusation against Dr. West is a political response to the contrived hysteria created by Kurtis Mings manufactured complaints. But the damage has been done and it continues. Just as in the Duke La Crosse “rape” case, it took the direct involvement of legislators to derail the demented and criminal actions of A.G. Mike Nifong……who was disbarred for what he did!!!!!……hmmmmm…..
The MBC is on their 4th amended complaint. They keep dismissing charges and adding new ones. Their latest attempt was to file a 5th amended complaint 72 hours before the trial began. The judge denied their request. Dr. West should not have to defend himself repeatedly against these baseless attacks.
In February 2008, Assistant Attorney General Mara Faust offered to settle the current accusations against Dr. West, DISMISSING ALL charges with NO ADMISSIONS by Dr. West, subject to approval by the Medical Board of California. For publically stated political reasons, the Board declined to accept the agreement. For fear of media pressure surrounding this case, the MBC did not want to come across as “soft on doctors;” justice and fairness be damned. The political careers of the Board members trumped the safety and financial responsibility due the citizens of the people of California. Dr. West does not deserve to be a political football, again. The citizens of California deserve better, more honest and dedicated public servants. The subpoena power of the Department of Justice of the State of California should be able to uncover the conspiracy and deceit of the MBC’s members, past and present. All those who have participated in this witch hunt should be sued for libel, slander, defamation of character, harassment, cyber harassment, cyber stalking, criminal conspiracy, malicious prosecution, organized stalking, etc……
The abuse of Brian West MD, is unwarranted, unprecedented and should be swiftly, severely and publically punished. All those involved should be held accountable both civilly and criminally. The unbiased and impartial application of California Law and Rules is essential for maintenance of order and public confidence in the government.
