KARIN SMITH/CANCER VICTIM: HAD MY CANCER BEEN DIAGNOSED AT THE TIME MY FIRST PAP SMEAR WAS MIS-READ BY MY H.M.O. I WOULD HAVE HAD A 95-PERCENT CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
Instead, Karin Smith went through months of agonizing cancer treatment. Then, a year and a month after her testimony she died.
The same technician from the same Milwaukee lab who botched Karin Smiths results, mis-read another woman s pap smear and she too died.
The District Attorney got involved after surviving family members filed and won a civil suit.
The case proved that the technician at the lab read too many slides too quickly which meant clear signs of cancer went undetected, until it was too late.
Now, the lawyer who represents the lab called Chem-Bio is pleading no-contest to reckless homicide charges.
The judge fined the lab 20-thousand dollars and ordered everyone back for sentencing in late February.
One victim s husband says he feels:
KEITH GARY/VICTIM'S HUSBAND: SHORTED.
Karin Smith's husband says he wonders if the lab owners and the technician are truly being held accountable.
PETER SMITH/VICTIM'S HUSBAND: WE'RE NOT SATISFIED. AS OF RIGHT NOW NO ONE IS GOING TO DO JAIL TIME.
BYRON HARLAN/CBS NEWS: An unsatisfying outcome for the victims families, a clear message to lab technicians. The district attorney says--at least in this part of the country--if you fail to do your job properly, you can be charged with reckless homicide. Byron Harlan, CBS News, Milwaukee.))
