An Ohio court shouldn't dismiss the 25-count murder indictment for a hospital doctor accused of ordering excessive painkillers for patients who then died, the prosecutor argued in a new court filing. William Husel, who worked in the Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health System, has pleaded not guilty and maintains he was providing comfort care to dying patients. Husel's lawyers sought to get the indictment dismissed, arguing that Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien wrongly influenced the grand jury and prejudiced Husel by excluding information about another patient who received even larger doses and survived for days afterward.
