A Vet Wants to Save Another Vet's Life by Donating an Organ - Who Is Standing in the Way?

He admitted to shooting an acquaintance at local 7-Eleven and agreed to an 11-year prison sentence, but before 33-year-old Ronald Pecora was set to begin that sentence, he planned to donate part of his liver to a local veteran in need. The judge, prosecutor and defense attorney all agreed to schedule sentencing for after the surgery, but at the last minute, the hospital told Pecora that he no longer qualifies to donate due to ethical issues. Eric Hughes Jones joins me to talk about this story and more and the race to save a veteran’s life. See how you can help.
