COLUMBUS, Ohio — More Mount Carmel staff is expected to testify as the murder trial of Dr. William Husel enters its second week. Latest: https://www.10tv.com/article/news/investigations/10-investigates/mount-carmel-patient-overdose-deaths/mount-carmel-staff-testimony-continues-in-murder-trial-dr-william-husel-watch-live-coverage/530-ce1ed728-29ef-41aa-b213-6dd1d116b9e5 A long-anticipated trial is underway for an Ohio doctor charged in multiple hospital deaths. Dr. William Husel is accused of ordering excessive painkillers for patients in the Columbus-area Mount Carmel Health System. Prosecutors said ordering such dosages for a nonsurgical situation indicated an intent to end lives. Husel has pleaded not guilty to 14 murder counts. His attorney, Jose Baez, told jurors Tuesday Husel was only practicing “comfort care” for his patients. Franklin Judge Michael Holbrook last month dropped 11 of the original 25 charges at the prosecution's request. Jurors are expected to hear from at least 50 prosecution witnesses as well as additional defense witnesses.
