On Thursday afternoon, Jayant Patel’s lawyer urged that the verdict of his client’s trail should be based on rationality and objectivity and the entire media glare should not be a factor in determining a certain perception in the eyes of the jury.

In the closing address, Defense Barrister, Michael Byrne, QC, told the jury members of the Brisbane Supreme Court, "This is not a trial by hindsight, particularly not hindsight with expert views based upon optimal conditions. If you are to understand (Patel's) position, if you are to make judgments as to the level of skill and care of the defendant, you have to put yourself in the real world, and that's the Bundaberg Base Hospital in 2003 to 2005".

Reports confirm that Patel held the position of the Director of surgery, when he allegedly caused the deaths of Mervyn Morris, Gerardus Kemps and James Phillips.

Patel, 60, pleaded not guilty to the three counts of manslaughter, which took place at the Bundaberg Hospital. Further, one case of serious bodily harm was also charged to the doc.

Following the accusations, Patel has been subject to immense media pressure and the media storm has been successful in creating a perception of the surgeon, which holds him guilty in the trail of the manslaughter.

Byrne urged the jurors that the verdict of his client’s case should only be based on concrete evidence and not on allusion, empathy, prejudice or the expectations which have been generated by the media.
