On October 27, Danny drove up to Newark with the first assistant prosecutor, Robert Land, and Assistant Prosecutor Tim Van Hise. The meet was at Saint Michael’s Hospital—Danny’s call. He needed an outside medical authority to read the charts on Somerset’s six suspicious lab values, and he wanted someone other than Somerset to do it.

The group from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office was met in the lobby by Paul Nittoly and his private detective, Rocco. Danny gave a cool hello and made introductions. He didn’t say anything more until he got his results.

Dr. Leon Smith was Saint Michael’s chief of medicine. He had reviewed the charts of all six patients Somerset had presented to the detectives, and didn’t find them quite as “unexplained” as Somerset had. Dr. Smith presented the group with a very different interpretation of the charts than the one Dr. Cors and Nittoly had first handed to the detectives back on October 7.

Dr. Smith had focused on the four most abnormal and suspicious patient lab values;1 these were, as it happened, the only four that had occurred more than thirty days before the detectives were called, and whose Pyxis records were thus apparently unavailable.2 Dr. Smith could not offer any medical explanations for what had happened to the four patients. It was his professional medical opinion that all four appeared to have been given an overdose by an outside source.

Paul Nittoly turned to Danny for a reaction, but Danny had already cut from his group and was out the door, running through the rain to his car.
