Staten Island's Dr. Gilbert Lederman was found guilty of malpractice after treating Giuseppa Bono with radiation without confirming she had cancer. Lederman, who had previously been sued by George Harrison's family, advertised his special "Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery" on Italian infomercials with colleague Salvatore Conte, who would diagnose patients despite not having a medical degree. Though Lederman committed malpractice, the jury ruled that his treatment was not responsible for Bono's death, and no monetary damages were awarded to Bono's family.
