(The San Diego Union-Tribune) – A Texas hospice nurse admitted she overmedicated two patients at the direction of her company’s CEO in order to speed their deaths, court records reveal. But at this point, no one has been charged with murder. Nurse Taryn Stuart is expected, instead, to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud. The 34-year-old is one of 16 total defendants in a criminal case against them and their employer, Novus Health Services Inc. and Optim Health Services Inc.
