On Monday, Judge Kathy Wallace of Olmsted County’s Third Judicial Court listened to arguments about Mayo Clinic’s motion to dismiss three of Dr. Michael Joyner's claims in a suit filed against Mayo.
Employer wants three claims of the suit dismissed, arguing that the Clinic's Academic Freedom and Anti-Retaliation policies are not binding contracts nor is a “handshake agreement.”
Olmsted County prosecutors told the court they have uncovered digital forensic evidence of Connor Bowman purchasing colchicine from an online pharmacy. The drug, typically used for treating gout, was found in Betty Bowman’s blood when she died last August.
Mayo Clinic filed a response to Dr. Michael Joyner’s lawsuit this week. The filing asks the court to dismiss three of Joyner's contract-related claims because its policies are not binding contracts.
