- LIVE COVERAGE: OH v. Dr. William Husel Trial - Former Doctor Fentanyl Murders
Happening In Court:
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.

I don’t know how a jury could determine what is right or wrong in a case like this without knowing the medical history of each patient. The prosecution is trying to portray this as the dr had no reason to order these medications.
I think there are a lot of Jose Baez paid comments.
@@DJ-hf1zo guess my check is lost in the mail😂😂😂🙄🙄
These patients were critically ill, but were still alive until they were given fatal doses of multiple medications. If someone is dying from some disease(s), but someone smothers them- The cause of their death is suffocation not their previously existing disease(s).
He od'd them on lethal drug cocktails... this last witness said it all... he ignored her,
He played God and got caught... I hope they throw the book at him... arrogant sob.... only the guilty hire Baez.
@@kellijanssen1171 well some people foolishly work for free.
If I am dying please give me all the phentynal available, I don't want to be aware of struggling to breathe
Also want to point out the male prosecutor seems to be very gruff toward his witness (Talon) or whatever his name is. I find it a bit rude (for lack of better word) and irritating when it’s his witness and he’s answering all of the questions asked if him honestly. Well it seems he’s being honest and I don’t think he has anything to lie about.
I thought that same thing, he was yelling even a few times. Kind of rude and not good ethics in my opinion.
The pharmacist is getting sued by a few of the patients’ families, so his testimony here will come up again and directly concern his case; it’s in his best interest to distance himself from all responsibility (and one way to start doing that is act as though no grossly aberrant prescriptions were submitted or filled unquestioningly during the relevant timeframe).
Is this judge even awake and coherent?
He looks high lol
Verifying and approving have 2 different meanings
The sound started out great and then went crappy
Is that defense lawyer Jose Baez? Casey Anthony's lawyer. If not, he's a dead ringer.
Yes it is Jose Baez.
If I'm being taken off of a vent so that my family can say goodbye without tubes coming out of me I want to be out cold. It would be awful to say final goodbys to someone who's panting for breath. My family would beg for the doctor to do something. Anyone who's seen a loved one fighting to breathe wouldn't question that. It's an awful way to die - it's suffocation.
Dr. Mussel is a scapegoat. These pharmacists are being sued by some of the families.
Dr. Husel
5 state attorneys vs 2 defense and yet the defense council seems to be tearing down their house of cards and creating a ton of reasonable doubt.
These two attorneys battling each other is quite humorous but I’m sure very petty and exhausting for judge, jury & witnesses. 🙄
The defense is trying to keep interrupting so that the jury doesn't remember the damning testimony but will just remember the interruptions.
Jose Baez is a petty person so it doesn’t surprise me.
Is someone streaming this from a Nokia 3310
This is fascinating and terrifying. RIP to the 27+
This judge is a clown
The 27 could of asked this doctor for the prescriptions, as their in pain and dying and wanted to end life their way. Be a interesting case to watch.
Juge u need 2 retire
The male prosecutor is disrespectful. I think he called the judge by his first name yesterday so buddies too?
The sound is very bad on this. All I can hear is shuffling and moving around. 😒
Larry Flynt will play the Judge in the movie lol.
George Costanza
Norm from Cheers
Judge looks to be ready for a nap 😴
The male prosecutor is particularly aggravating. This entire prosecution was a joke. Never should have happened.
Audio tech?
Worst sound ever!
Irritating that the cameraman has the mic in his lap and not where the action is. Wires crossed. Soundcheck please 🎤
If, in fact, these patients were dying, giving them high doses of pain meds seems humane. I took care of my friend while dying and gave her morphine to ease her pain. She was in my hands at home and I might have given her and extra dose. She was already comatose so what’s the harm? I don’t think this doctor is guilty.
Your limited knowledge and trying to equate you taking care of a friend as opposed to a doctor that has murdered multiple patients is not applicable.
@@DJ-hf1zo murdered?!? .. this is America, innocent until proven guilty
@@suesanborts-bredall9914 He killed them by giving them massive overdoses. He had no right.
@@suesanborts-bredall9914 only giving my thoughts and you are entitled to yours.
@@DJ-hf1zo Yes you certainly are
The sound sucks
I hope the camera man is feeling better with his sniffles and slight cough..lol I'm sure environmental since there are a few who are doing the same
Judge looks tired
He is taking muscle relaxers during the trial; he announced it in open court
Wow starting off day three with giggles and chuckles, huh?🤦🏻♀️
The defendant looks like he’s on benzodiazepines
I agree.
It is a supposition on my part.
I daresay for him personally he is under tremendous stress. He may have been prescribed an anti anxiety medication.
My thoughts are with all the families who lost loved ones.
A difficult case for all concerned.
I hope he gets what he deserves! Rip aunt bev!
