Lawyers for patients of UCLA doctor say clients shaken by court overturning his sex abuse conviction

A California appeals court's decision to overturn the sex abuse conviction of former University of California, Los Angeles, gynecologist James Heaps has left his victims devastated and legal experts puzzled by the type of judicial error that transpired. The panel's ruling Monday hinged on a note sent by the foreperson to the judge expressing concern that one of the jurors did not have sufficient English to carry out his duties that was never shared with the defense. Some legal experts say this kind of error is unheard of. Lawyers representing Heaps' victims say their clients are devastated by the ruling.
