This recent discovery of the shocking number of wrongful deaths and other negligent medical malpractices committed by David Denning comes after landmark proceedings have been initiated to present complaints to the current session of the Cabell County Grand Jury against Doctor David Denning and Steven Lochow for the murder of Otis Clay Jr. in April of 2012 by the Gross Negligent Medical Malpractice.
This stunning revelation comes from the Wrongful Murder Conviction of Edward Jesse Dreyfuse in Cabell County after Former prosecutor Chris Chiles and Sean Hammers presented the false fabricated evidence and perjured testimony of H.P.D. officer Ryan Bentley that Dreyfuse obtained a black aluminum bat and repeatedly beat Mr Clay about the face and head causing multiple facial fractures a major skull fracture and exposed brain injury resulting in Clay's slipping into a coma until he died of the NON EXISTING INJURIES!
Dreyfuse, Self represented in the State circuit, Supreme and Federal district courts prevailed in having Mr Clay's autopsy report unsealed and then presented it as exhibit in support of his Wrongful Murder Conviction being secured by the prosecutorial misconducts of knowingly presenting false fabricated evidence, A special assigned Judge, Honorable Judge Jay Hoke reviewed the medical examiners autopsy report and determined that it was in fact absent of any multiple facial fractures a major skull fracture or any type of exposed brain injuries, Judge Hoke then ORDERED Clay's medical records from Saint Mary's medical center be produced and authenticated.
Upon the court receipt and preliminary review of Mr. Clays medical records it was again found the alleged multiple facial fractures, major skull fracture and exposed brain injuries were absent, At this Judge Hoke issued an ORDER for a qualified medical expert to review Clay's medical records and to explain the events and medical fact of Clays cause of death.
Renowned cardiac surgeon and professor of cardiology, Doctor Thomas Berger detailed Mr Clay's death for the court in explaining Otis Clay had never suffered or sustained any multiple facial fractures a major skull fracture or exposed brain injury or any fatal injuries from being beat with any type of object.
Doctor Berger then explained Mr. Clay had an implanted life necessitated pacemaker to keep his heart rate above 40 beats per minute, prior to a routine orthopedic procedure Doctor David Denning and Steven Lochow ordered the pacemaker to be temporarily disabled for use of an electronic cauterizing tool to control small bleeders, Upon successful completion of the procedure without complications Doctor David Denning and Steven Lochow ordered Clay to be transferred to recovery without reactivating the pacemaker knowing the risk of his suffering cardiac arrest.
Upon arrival to recovery, Mr. Clay's heart rate fell below 30 beats per minute, Without a pulse under CODE BLUE, called by Doctor Fred Adams, it then took nearly twenty minutes for a Medtronic tech to finally arrive and reactivate Clays pacemaker.
After lying on a hospital bed for twenty minutes without a pulse before Clays heart rate was returned to the life necessitated 40 beats per minute, The entire medical team knew it was entirely too late, Mr Clay had essentially been allowed to suffocate to fatal irreparable brain injury and Doctor David Denning and Steven Lochow's Gross negligent medical malpractice and reckless disregard in not properly managing Mr Clay's pacemaker were the proximate cause of Otis Clay's death.
This was entered into evidence in support of the Dreyfuse Wrongful Murder Conviction being vacated without objections from special prosecutor Jeff Bowen and is now being presented to the Cabell County Grand Jury against Doctors David Denning and Steven Lochow for the murder of Otis Clay Jr.
Doctor Thomas Berger's report caused an investigation into Doctor David Denning's past which has brought forward the sensational number of wrongful deaths and medical malpractice lawsuits that have been litigated against David Denning, How he has eluded criminal actions to present is unbelievable, However, Many anticipate that once the grand jury presentment takes place there will be several murder indictments to follow against David Denning!
WEST VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT ASSIGNS SPECIAL JUDGE TO PRESIDE OVER GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS SEEKING MURDER INDICTMENT AGAINST HUNTINGTON DOCTOR DAVID DENNING
In the remarkable criminal proceedings being initiated against Huntington West Virginia's Doctor David Denning for the murder of Otis Clay Jr in April of 2012 resulting from gross negligent medical malpractice and the reckless disregard for Clay's life, The West Virginia Supreme Court Chief Justice has special assigned the Honorable Judge Jay M. Hoke to preside over the grand jury proceedings after the entire Cabell County Judicial system was disqualified from the proceedings.
Judge Hoke held an in Chambers hearing on the special assignment on July 17th prior to accepting the assignment and the official Administrative ORDER was issued by West Virginia's Chief Justice Tim Armstead of the assignment on July 18th.
The grand jury proceedings will take place during the first week of September where criminal complaint and evidence will be presented to the Cabell County Grand Jury against Doctor David Denning seeking an indictment for the murder of Otis Clay Jr.
The criminal complaint provides that on April 11, 2012, In Huntington, Cabell County hospital, Saint Mary's Medical Center, Dr. David Denning did as the chief surgeon of an orthopedic procedure being performed on Otis Clay Jr, Did ORDER the life sustaining necessary implanted pacemaker that was emplaced to insure Clays heart rate would not fall below 40 beats per minute to maintain Clays blood oxygen level to stay within the life sustaining limits to insure hypoxia and death would not occur to Otis Clay, Be temporarily disabled, For the use of an electronic cauterizing toll to control small bleeders during a basic orthopedic procedure to avoid interference with the pacer.
Upon successful completion of the orthopedic procedure that went without complications, Doctor David Denning failed to reactivate Clays life necessary pacemaker and directed Anesthesiologist Jay Vance to transfer Otis Clay to recovery.
Under transfer from the operating table to recovery room bed without The life sustaining pacemakers being reactivated, Otis Clay's heart rate fell below 30 beats per minute, causing him to go into cardiac arrest, Without pulse, Under CODE BLUE, called by Doctor Fred Adams, Where it took twenty (20) minutes for the Medtronic tech to finally arrive and reactivate e pacemaker and restoring a pulse and Clay's heart to the life sustaining 40 beats per minute, Entirely too late.
Otis Clay had been allowed to essentially suffocate to fatal irreparable brain injury from the lack of oxygen and severe hypoxia resulting from the gross negligence and reckless disregard managing the pacemaker which resulted in Otis Clay's death.
This criminal complaint with the actual exhibits of Clay's medical records will be presented for a true bill of indictment to be issued against David Denning for the murder of Otis Clay Jr.
This evidence was discovered after the Wrongful Murder Conviction of Edward Jesse Dreyfuse was litigated and it was proven that former Cabell prosecutors Chris Chile's and Sean Hammers had deliberately presented false fabricated evidence and perjured testimony that Dreyfuse had repeatedly beat Clay about the face and head with a bat causing multiple facial fractures, a major skull fracture and exposed brain injury resulting in Clay's death by murder from the NON EXISTING INJURIES!
After a thorough review of the released medical records it was discovered that Clay never suffered or sustained any of the falsified injuries and that his actual cause of death was by Doctor David Denning's gross negligent medical malpractice which is now being presented for murder charges to initiate.
Sadly Edward Jesse Dreyfuse remains imprisoned under the Wrongful Murder Conviction and awaits the final decision in the conviction being vacated as criminal proceedings begin against Doctor David Denning.

AMERICA'S JUSTICE IS RESERVED FOR THE UPPER CLASSES
Written by Jesse Dreyfuse
The United States pledge of allegiance closes "With Justice For All", Every American is familiar with the pledge and understands it to mean one's right to life, liberty and Justice as an American Citizen is an inalienable right for all classes of people, from the richest to the poorest as one Nation under the GOD.
What America does not know is that Justice is reserved only for those who can afford to retain private counsel and that Innocent lower classed citizens are 96 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted while being represented by a court appointed public defender that those of the upper classes that can afford to hire private practice attorney.
The courts require that those being prosecuted be represented by counsel, and that they be represented by 'competent' counsel, which means that appointing some hack who, but for court appointments, who is such a dud that he or she could not otherwise find work will pass muster as counsel for the poor and destitute who have no means to hire a private lawyer.
Specializations in law has relegated criminal law to the ministrations of a small group of lawyers at the top of the profession and to an incalculably larger group of lawyers at the bottom, There is no in between, Just as the classes of people, Public Defenders are the underclass who are tasked with representing the lower classes.
Public Defender's are under qualified, over worked, under paid and not provided the resources necessary for a complete defense in criminal trial settings which is the fatal flaw of the American criminal justice system that has created prosecutorial overmatches for all defendant's who can not afford to hire private counsel.
Because criminal law involves exclusively the processing of impecunious members of the underclass, insufficient money is at stake in any criminal case to attract prominent well-established lawyers, although a few white collar criminals and a few drug dealers have enough money to hire a good lawyer, almost all criminal defendant's are represented by court appointed public defender attorneys.
Sometimes the Public Defender's are young, ambitious, intelligent, idealistic advocates, Most of the time, however, public defenders are simply hacks, some court appointed lawyers are good, but every lawyer who finds that they can make vastly more money in other fields of law with never having to deal with the lower classed undesirables seek to avoid any type of court appointed work.
In America's criminal justice system, not only does court appointed work pay badly, with adequate funding never being appropriated by the State's legislature's, Court appointed work is the 'minimum wage' tasks left for those lawyers who can not succeed in private practice and specialized fields of law.
Most public defenders aspire to become prosecuting attorneys, who also work for humbled wages compared to the successful private practice lawyers and most prosecuting attorneys aspire to become Judges after serving their tenure as a prosecutor who has built a reputation on the number of convictions secured through plea bargains and trials, "Get a conviction at any cost and let the pieces fall where hey may" is the prosecutors only goal, even at the expense of convicting innocent men and women.
The majority of wrongful convictions that have been overturned throughout the Nation are those of poor criminal defendant's who were represented by court appointed public defender's who were outmatched, unprepared and overwhelmed with more appointed cases than any lawyer could possibly represent competently, More often than not public defenders push the indigent criminal client to enter into a plea agreement rather than to take the time necessary to investigate, research and prepare a viable trial defense, even when they are aware of their clients innocence.
Every State guarantees that the Courts shall be open for every person, for any injury done them to their property, person or reputation and shall have remedy by due process of law and that Justice shall be served without sale, denial or delay, Unfortunately those of the lower class who are wrongfully convicted are shelved and delayed access to the Courts for decades.
The reality is that any innocent defendant is infinitely better off appealing a Death sentence than a sentence of life imprisonment or less, As former Justice Bryer once stated; "Court's and State Governors are 130 times more likely to exonerate a defendant where a Death sentence is at issue, The capital convict will obtain endless legal assistance from the abolition lobby's and legal favoritism, while the lifer languishes behind bars".
Public defenders representing convicted defendant's in proceedings challenging wrongful convictions are intimidated and controlled by the Judge's they deal with on a daily basis, Afraid to challenge prosecutorial and Judicial misconducts and the procedural errors that rose to constitutional violations, they are unwilling to address the injustices in fear of their not being appointed future work by the Courts which they depend upon for their meager wages, " Never bite the hand that feeds you" is the controlling law over Public Defender Attorneys, Constitution be dammed and reserved for those of the upper classes.
Incredibly the careers built on the backs on wrongful convictions by so many prosecutor's across this country remain shadowed and silenced by the legal communities and criminal justice system that was originally designed to insure that all citizens from all classes were to be afforded the right of due process "With Justice For All", The brutal truth is that the criminal justice system is rampant with wrongful convictions.
Americans need to realize Justice is not for all, Justice is served to those who have the financial means to hire private counsel, The Constitutional provision that All Citizens shall have remedy by due process of law and that Justice shall be served without sale, denial or delay is a right reserved for those not of the lower underclasses.
America's best kept secrets are the ones of the criminalized police, prosecutorial and Judicial misconducts committed to wrongfully convict innocent people, The scandals and corruptions that have permeated the American criminal justice system and County Courthouses are happening every day across America that will secure a conviction at any cost against another innocent person, Let the pieces fall where they may as another prosecutor builds his career on the backs of wrongful convictions, Lives are stolen and families are destroyed for the advancement of careers and social standings as the right of passage that always begins with a Court appointed public defender's climbing the ladder to a Judgeship...
