    WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Lowell Melser tweeted shortly after 10:30 a.m. that an observer in the courtroom passed out.

    “As soon as she passed out, Avi Werdesheim jumped up out of his seat to render aid,” Melser tweeted.

    The woman was OK when she left the courtroom with emergency workers.

    Werdesheim, and his brother Eli, are accused of beating a teenager while on a neighborhood watch patrol in the 3200 block of Fallstaff Road on Nov. 19, 2010.

    Last month, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Pamela White granted the defense’s request for a bench trial and is hearing the case.

    Dumb move…if there had been a jury, the prosecution would have requested and gotten a mistrial; hopefully the judge will not be swayed by these kind of theatrics given that there were more then sufficient number of trained first responders in the courtroom

    it’s a good thing this is a bench trial. That action could have caused a mistrial.

    #3 and #5 :
    He shoulda just been the only EMT in the room, and allowed the person to
    remain like that? That sure would have impressed the **** outta the judge!
    Please don’t become a defense attorney!
    Happens to be State law (in most states), A certified EMT **MUST** provide assistance to any person needing medical attention, unless there is someone else on the scene whose med training supercedes his. Not doing so will jeopardize his certification!!

    # 15 is correct except in one or two states. And they aren’t Jersey, Md, or NY.
    But just because he isn’t required to, doesn’t mean he should sit there and not help.
    He wasn’t thinking of making some sort of impression on anybody -he probably just wanted to help.
