Annette Olerud, a plaintiff in the malpractice lawsuit filed against the hospital and one of its pediatric physicians, said she started doing online research on Ms. Haynes following her ruling. After discovering Ms. Haynes sits on the hospital’s board and at one point served as chairwoman, Ms. Olerud is now moving forward with a judicial ethics complaint against the judge, according to the report.
Ms. Olerud’s attorney has also filed a motion for Ms. Haynes to recuse herself, even though the hospital’s attorneys clarified that the board Ms. Haynes sits on does not govern the facility. Ms. Haynes also said in a ruling that she did not have to recuse herself. Ms. Olerud’s family is appealing Ms. Haynes’ ruling in the malpractice lawsuit and her ruling to not recuse herself to the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
