Miguel Ferrer

Miguel Ferrer is the lawyer who represented Juan Maeso, an anesthesiologist who was convicted and sentenced to 1,933 years in prison for the mass contagion of hepatitis C in Valencia, Spain. Maeso's actions affected 275 patients. Ferrer is in the news because Juan Maeso died in a hospital on Monday at the age of 84. Maeso had been released on parole in March 2023 due to his deteriorating health after serving more than fifteen years in prison. Ferrer confirmed Maeso's death to EFE news agency. The case remains significant due to the scale of the harm caused by Maeso and the legal precedent it set.
