Overview
- The Cumberland County verdict grants Lyndsey Sutherland $25 million for the 2021 death of her 15-year-old daughter, Jasmine “Jazzy” Vincent.
- Jurors found Mid Coast Medical Group negligent after a gynecologist diagnosed gynecomastia without reviewing records, taking full vitals, or ordering imaging.
- Post‑death testing showed acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with fluid buildup causing the cardiac arrest that killed Vincent 18 days after her symptoms began.
- Plaintiffs’ experts testified Vincent likely would have survived with an earlier leukemia diagnosis consistent with standard pediatric oncology care.
- Defense counsel emphasized the clinician’s limited role and pointed to Martin’s Point primary care, which was previously sued then dropped from the case, as MaineHealth and Mid Coast declined substantive comment.
