Attorneys met with Circuit Court Judge Barbara Wallace concerning a motion to quash deposition of two doctors involved in the delivery.
A 2014 trial date was set in a couple’s lawsuit against a Creve Coeur OBGYN practice. The lawsuit claims the couple's child was decapitated during delivery on March 22, 2011.
