Jayant Patel to learn fate of appeal
Queensland's Court of Appeal will hand down its judgment on former Bundaberg surgeon Jayant Patel on Thursday.
Patel in July last year was jailed for seven years after a jury found him guilty of the manslaughter of Gerry Kemps, 77, James Phillips, 46, and Mervyn Morris, 75.
He was also found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm to Ian Rodney Vowles, 62.
Patel appealed the term, while Queensland's Attorney-General sought a tougher sentence.
The appeal hearing ended last month.
Patel should know his fate on Thursday when the court hands down its decision.
