In 2007, Kaiser opened a 373-bed new hospital in Santa Clara. That man is teaching him (Jacobs) a lesson.” Kaiser never called police to report having been attacked and sold his gun after the shooting, which showed his consciousness of guilt, Skelton told jurors. They had agreed to Kaiser's wage proposal before the strike, but the agreement adds a year to the contract."That was the hardest part is that we were out for our patients, but they were also being hurt by us being out.

Now it was only a split second, but you are not required to stand there and allow somebody to come up to you and start punching you.” Jurors were being asked to evaluate the reasonableness of Kaiser’s decision to shoot the men from the safety of the court room and they needed to consider that fact, Margerum said.

“It's easy to sit here now and look at that video and say I would've done something differently,” Margerum said. In mental health care professionals have entered their eighth week of striking for similar demands. “He (Kaiser) had to make a split-second decision and it's easy to sit here now and second guess somebody.” Michelle Sharpe, of the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, during the second part of the state’s closing argument emphasized jurors needed to determine whether Kaiser’s force was reasonable.
