From the legal documents I skimmed, it looks like the state hospital association, state medical association, and american medical association were on the side of the defense. The SC chief justice and an associate justice dissented. I mentioned this to a friend who is a doctor, and he doesn't believe the AMA would take a position.

Edit: Nevermind. The AMA's interest is that it is against abusive legislation against physicians. They felt the facts were recited more favorably to the prosecution.
