- LIVE COVERAGE: OH v. Dr. William Husel Trial - Former Doctor Fentanyl Murders
Happening In Court:
Det. William Gillette - Columbus PD
Talon Schroyer - Pharmacist
An Ohio doctor was charged with 25 counts of murder on Wednesday for allegedly prescribing lethal doses of fentanyl to dying patients. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said that he has never seen a 25-count murder indictment in his career, adding that the doses Dr. William Husel allegedly ordered in the 25 deaths “could not support any legitimate medical purpose.”
Husel, 43, was a doctor for the Mount Carmel Health System; he was fired at the end of 2018 after an internal investigation found wrongdoing.
Husel faces a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison for each count - if convicted.
Husel’s lawyer Richard Blake claimed that, actually, “this is not a murder case.”
“I can assure you there was never any attempt to euthanize anyone by Dr. Husel. At no time did he ever have the intent to euthanize anyone,” he said.
Mount Carmel Health System, for its part, has said in a statement that it “will continue to implement meaningful changes throughout our system to ensure events like these never happen again.”
The Columbus-based healthcare system also fired 20 other employees after an internal investigation found that patients received exorbitant amounts of Fentanyl. Even though nurses doled out-and pharmacists filled-Husel’s prescriptions, the focus of the criminal investigation remains on Husel, according to prosecutors.
Mount Carmel President and CEO Ed Lamb said at the time of the investigation’s conclusion that “regardless of the reason the actions were taken, we take responsibility for the fact that the processes in place were not sufficient to prevent these actions from happening.” He added, “we’re doing everything to understand how this happened and what we need to do to ensure that it never happens again.”
The State Medical Board of Ohio suspended Husel’s license in January because the doctor failed “to meet acceptable standards regarding the selection of drugs, violations of the minimal standards of care and failing to cooperate in a board’s investigation,” the board said.
Mount Carmel has settled at least five wrongful death suits since it fired Husel. Two of the suits that were settled involved deaths of 73-year-old women. Sherry White died in 2014 after receiving two, 100-microgram doses of fentanyl within 16 minutes of each other, the suit alleged. But White’s death certificate said that she died of septic shock from a urinary tract infection (UTI).
The suit in the death of Peggy Francis alleged that she died six minutes after she was given a 200-microgram dose of fentanyl. The death certificate said that Francis-who was being treated for kidney cancer-died from septic shock caused by a UTI.
Each of the lawsuits allege that health care providers ignored excessive painkiller warnings from an electronic medical system or that the system failed to work in the first place. After Mount Carmel fired Husel in December, the health care provider updated its guidelines that a usual adult dosage of fentanyl should be between 25 and 100 micrograms, according to an Ohio Department of Health inspection report. Husel faces an additional 19 wrongful-death suits after another eight were settled, according to NBC.

As a nurse I’m embarrassed for this detective! I hope the jury can see that.
I think I am missing a bunch of testimony, with the way they have these numbered it is hard to figure out what is going on
This detective is so embarrassing to his fellow officers, he took everything as a truth, when we know you investigate to the 9th degree
Why is this judge letting this detective be sooo combative????
I don’t think he’s being combative. I think he’s grossly uninformed and appears incompetent. The judge is interrupting and stopping a lot of this witness’ testimony, because he has a tendency to testify to things he doesn’t know; he’s assuming and guessing which the judge stops.
I was wondering the same
Baez makes his incompetence really stand out. Unfortunately.
This “detective “ is terrible at his job. What does he actually do, only what the prosecutor tells him to do? Seems like the Pink Panther could have done a better job!
This trial is very political. Mt Carmel is a big deal locally and they have chosen a scapegoat.
You hit the nail on the head.
Totally Agree! Tried in the media.
EXACTLY! Wrote that down in the comments last video. I’m praying 🙏 for this Dr… he doesn’t deserve this. This is a man’s life!… w/ a wife & 2 baby girls & this hospital heads are responsible not this Dr. This is why it goes throu 3 ta 4 pep b4 the med is given it jus starts w/ the Dr but it don’t end w/ the Dr.
this is a 'professional detective?' Seems he did VERY little "detecting" - just took what he was given - and challanged nothing.......
🤣 I know lol.
Seems like he’s very new at this detecting stuff. 😆
I am glad the judge finds and urges the audience and jury to find a murder case, where there are dead people and a live persons life is on the line, a source of humour each time he calls a sidebar.
I don’t understand how this case even made it to trial or was even charged in the first place this Dr has been railroaded big time
Just curious if this “detective” investigated ANYTHING he was told. Sounds like he took everything at face value and that was that.😳🤦🏻♀️
I feel like the defense seems to be struggling with finding the right way of presenting a question because he’s interviewing one of the lead witnesses who should be more knowledgeable of the case he investigated, but seems to be a bit of a simpleton.😬
I know, it would be funny if it wasn't so serious. I'm finding it very hard believing he's the lead detective. I agree that it looks as though he got told some stuff and went with it. It's embarrassing to watch. His vocab is a little on the narrow side too.
Idk Jose baez was fairly incompetent in the Casey Anthony Trial as well.
CPD should be embarrassed, this alone could lose the case. Is this CPD's worse detective
Not much detecting going on with him.
The flow of this case is a HUUUUGE difference from the flow of FL vs Curtis Reeves case, but both a equally frustrating. The Reeves case had sidebars for every objection and sometimes only upon request, this case there are so many argued objections that the defense can barely get a question out. 😮💨
The judge in the Reeves cas was asking for more side bars than the attorneys.
I came here to say the same thing! 😅
Those sidebars in the Reeves case nearly drove me crazy and this case I just can't figure it out because I've never seen a detective like him and I think that the objections are insane, I think that I'll find another trial for now and come back to this one near the end.
Thank you for the captions. I don't know if your company is responsible but I'm so thrilled you have them.
I love your channel.
This judge is biased. I am fed up. He will not even let Jose emphasize a point. Everything is already asked.
Imagine not bring able to use the word assisting death. When obviously they told the family that is what is happening.
We all know that once you get morphine or fentynal you will go quickly
@@suzymac4121but surely you know that being in palliative care is a sure fire way to a new lease on life and great health!! 🙄
It is hard to fathom.
Love watching trials, but is it just me or does every single trial on this channel have a cougher sitting right next to the camera man or microphone?
Always. Smh
Ah yes the perpetual courtroom cougher…😒
I didn't notice it until I read this comment 😂🤣. I taught in public school and I had coughers every single day. I learned to tune it out. Also, this detective sure didn't get his ducks in a row, in fact, he can't find his ducks lol
@@jesseewalker5147the duck's? The experts looked at that. Idk what a duck is.. 🥴🤭🤭
Who made this guy a detective? Chief Wiggum?
Meatwad could do a better job
This witness as A Detective is a disgrace to the force. I hope the jury see this for what it is an absolute shambles.
Random question: are these videos being uploaded out of order? I'm confused.
Yes long with other trials. Video titles help
I say some of us get together and start our own trial coverage channel because LnC is getting to be very frustrating as of late
Yep it's very frustrating I have to keep going back. Stopping and starting
The judge reminds me of Truman Capote!! Hahaha
Baez is making this detective look like a fool. No rehabilitation is going to help. The jury already sees the incompetency.
Daah ecsparts! 🥴
This poor docs life is on the line and this case is being handled by detectives who didn't investigate in a court that is ran like a bar.
Sorry dude, but a double order of fenatanyl by this doctor who worked the drug dispensation system says he's guilty. He's done
May be. But the job of the detective is to actually investigate so the prosecution can prove beyond reasonable doubt. That's the issue.
@@Phil4222 yeah pretty sure the jury will see beyond that issue. That is their job
everyone in this trial is so argumentative in their tone and manners, including the judge...
There is always a token cougher in a courtroom!
I’m sorry if I offend someone but it doesn’t seem like anyone knows what they’re talking about,truly unpaired and uninformed
This prosecutor asks the most DUH questions, even the pharmacy guy is giving him DUH looks
It is shocking on a high level
He don’t act too happy to help in any way. He could be one that was fired
@@sueastrop6509 he was fired even though he was one of the few that made a complaint about Husel’s prescribing practices.
Oh this is a fun case so far! These lawyers are like brother and sister with judge being the peace making dad. I laugh everytime the prosecution says "Jose" in her sarcastic tone. Nice to have a professional yet entertaining trial to watch
Where 8s the direct exam of this witness as far as I can see you have only posted the cross? I am talking about the detective's testimony, it started yesterday and only the defenses cross was posted?
Wow I could rephrase many of these questions to get an answer and I'm not even a defense attorney. And this so called detective, he seems to only have investigated stuff that would help his case but anything else is for the experts or he wasn't asked to look at it. Pathetic.
This guy is still with the Columbus pd in the "cold case" department...good spot for a guy you can't fire.
Has he been told to leave it to the experts as far as he is able?
The person clearing their throat all the time is so annoying 🙄
The pharmacist is being very vague in his answers. As a pharmacist he DOES know how the Pyxis system works ESPECIALLY override orders!
I had a pharmacist ask me how to add meds to the patient specific bin when he made a delivery to my unit 🤷🏻♀️
If he called it murder, he should know what he's investigating
Why did this detective charge the doctor with murder? He didn't look at the records of each of the 14 patients. He lumped them all together.
Detectives don’t charge. Prosecutors do.
My view is the hospital determined and handed it with a bow to the prosicution to run with charges
What can he answer???
Lack of preparation by the prosecutor. Writing out the foundation for the questions and the questions themselves helps avoid constant objections by opposing counsel. First witness was also so unprepared for this important case. Disappointing.
This is the defense attorney
12:05 omg is that the prosecutor chugging on her drink? This is so unprofessional
"its transitional i'll allow it " what the heck is this JUDGE keeps making this ruling.
I'm tapping out with this witness. What a sham.
He needs to go back to law school. Can't talk for ONE minute presenting his case without "REPHRASE! REPHRASE! HEARSAY! REPHRASE!" Not to mention unprofessional. He acts like a child arguing with the other lawyer.
Why is the judge texting?? and casually eating? So disrespectful to those mourning loved ones.
Because he is human. And they were on a break.
Why doesn’t this channel make a playlist that plays these videos in order?!
I'm using one right now..
Search Dr husel trial, then change the search filter option from all, to playlist.
Should come straight up. 😊
I’ve watched quite a few of court trials and I wonder why there is quite a bit of coughing.
Don’t know much about this case but from what I understand it was someone in the hospital that brought it to LE attention. Did any of the families file complaints first?
Nope
In fairness the families would have no idea as they are not medics and trust plays a huge part in thatc
That has been driving me crazy! It seems like no family members questioned any of this until it was convenient for the hospital to try to cover up their incompetence.
Not until $$$$$$ mentioned
Sure seems like the judge and prosecutors have a chip on the shoulder going up against Jose Baez. So much cockyness i havent heard in a court room before. Feels biased to a point
I thought the State always presented their case first?
How embarrassing🤦♀️ that detective needs to google what the role of ‘detective’means OR go back to traffic patrol 🤷♀️
Yup
Those pull apart glasses! Judge is obviously more lenient to prosecutor!!!
What's going on with this detective? Not prepared at all and doesn't seem to be thorough with his work.
Sounds like Jose Baez is the defense attorney. Great lawyer. Can't stand him.
Same 😂
OMG can both sides stop with the objections every few seconds
Baez is a BEAST
I swear this defense council is trying to get a mistrial with the way he keeps ignoring all these sustained objections.
the dude on the stand is slimmy
Can I get a detective badge?
Seems like this detective did just that, ask and it was given to him, no questions asked.
Cereal box.. 😉🤭🤭
Does this prosecutor think that everything this 'detective' did during his investigation is heresay?
Look at this guy eating candy on the bench.
Not having seen the opening statements, and also clearly missing some of the testimony, this is really hard to follow, yet it seems to be a really interesting case. So disappointing. Too many pointless objections - they don't add anything to the evidence. Just make it longer and more tedious for everybody involved, esp the jury who need all the facts. The judge is hilarious outside the hearing times, but way too strict with not allowing hearsay etc in under any circumstances.
Volume is down today too, so having trouble hearing.
That’s what the prosecutors want. A log of times, one side will object just to break up the flow of questioning that they don’t like.
I'm not a pharmacist and I could have done a better job testifying than this tool.
This prosecutor looking for the extra camera time. What a tool he is.😬
@@GenX1968 Just a quick example for you, taking time to actually describe a drug dispensing machine and then immediately after the few minutes convo, show a picture of the very machine you were asking witness to describe for jury to get a picture in their heads of. See what I mean? Waste of time and it will add up. This is going to be a long trial and I guarantee you Baez has his ducks in a row. Organization matters to 12 folks who probably would rather be somewhere else. Great how folks see things differently. Good evening to you!☮
@@GenX1968 the defense attorney is Jose Baez.. he has quite a good record of wins including Casey Anthony. To me he’s a bit arrogant and sleazy but he does win
Law and crime, sort out the audio!!!!!
Awful microphone for prosecutor. Distorted audio is very annoying
Baez started out so strong now he sounds like he’s badgering a non-medical expert on topics he would not possibly have knowledge of. “That’s what experts are for.” Legit
He is badgering the detective who made the arrest.
@@bellestarr6874 the detective should have done his job
Nope he us showing that a murder charge was brought with very little understanding of anything
This pharmacist is a little bit lackadaisical.
I can’t quite figure this guy out truthfully. Either he’s a brainiac (phD) and simple questions bore him, or somewhat immature with anxiety.(of course) I am a an RN and I could have more eloquently explained a pyksis machine and also why you might “reject” a med,like allergies.. then all his smirky facial gestures with almost an arrogance. Add in a weird prosecution and it becomes almost uncomfortable to watch.
Who tf keeps vomit-hacking throughout?! 🤢😖
Hey "detective". Yikes.
My god just show photos, ten minutes describing machinery and hardware.
This guy is even aggravating the witness
Perhaps non medical people should not be investigating a medical case. Bennet seems a fool and took advice from prosecution.
too quiet
Must think the Casey Anthony trial gave him a large stroke to his ego
Not a good look detective
You're not a doctor but guess what pal you're not a detective either LOL you can't even answer detective questions. Hence the reason why the prosecution is so scared for the defense to ask any type of question they're afraid this detective is going to blow it
It's not much better but it's amazing how much better his memory is with the prosecution. You kind of have to talk to this detective like you would a child. Short-winded questions. Broken down very easy a little at a time.
Wow his memory came back real quick he can remember everyone he talked to all the sudden which nurse for which patient and everything imagine that! At this rate expect me to keep on threading this because this detectives got to make me lose my sanity
Baez seems unprepared. He knows the material but didn’t write up proper questions. It’s hard to watch bc he actually has some good points he’s trying to make that are getting lost by his terrible questions that are easy to object to.
Baez may seem unprepared and that he’s asking questions that aren’t allowed, but what happens is even if the question is not allowed, the jury gets to hear the questions anyway and sometimes the witness answers before the prosecutors can object. So, he gets the unallowed question in and maybe even an answer!
@@sparkleybright I understand that but he looks simply unprepared.
Same thing happened in the Casey Anthony trial
@@sparkleybright I have been wondering if he's intentionally doing it for that reason
the lack of professinonalism is beyond anything I have seen. They leave the camera rolling while talking about other cases/other judges and then the judge for some reason just stays sitting and consumes a chocolate bar...then pushes himself up and grunts same as he returns I just can't believe this. now he is eating yet another choclate bar.
The judge is a character, that's for sure. You don't often see much personality from judges. To my untrained eye he seems like an excellent judge who is a bit of a showman too, rightly or wrongly. He lets his personality show at times which probably gives the jury a release from the tension but may well be understandably problematic for the victims' and defendant's loved ones.
Mr. Mackie Mmmkayyyyy
Why does everyone have an attitude?
Hostile witness
Well, now we know how petty Baez can get. It must be a huge aggravation for local prosecutors when these high profile defense lawyers show up in their towns.
Baez defended Casey Anthony who murdered her child, and he got her a very light sentence. Disgusting
@@deegarr964she didn’t murder her child she was found not guilty. He didn’t get her any light sentence he defended her. The jury found her not guilty. He is doing his job!
No it's not about the detective. As an RN I know what a gun is and does but can't take it apart and put it together again. So don't expect him to know how the pixis works
But are you investigating how someone else took apart their gun? His job is to learn the details because unless you know how it should work, you can't possibly know if what the doctor did was reasonable or not. To say a person broke the law, you have to know where the action became unlawful.
Nnnnkayyyy? Okkaayyy? K? Kaaayy? Mmmkkkay? 😩
The detective shouldn't be condemned as "not investigating" because he isn't fluent in medical terminology or procedures. This was a large investigation spanning years & there has been years (& I'm sure other investigations) since this investigation has concluded. For obvious reasons cops don't have the same training & education as Dr.s. If the detective was using other medical professionals to determine whether the doses DrH was prescribing were appropriate, then that is adequate for an investigation. He doesn't have to have independent personal understanding of medical appropriation of such behavior. If Dr.H came in & shot the terminally ill patients the detective wouldn't need any other Drs to tell him that is an illegal act defined as murder.
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy?
I can’t the defense lawyer this is awful. Can they please use microphones
