Louisiana: Nursing home owners indicted

September 21, 2006

The indictments stem from a broad investigation into more than 200 deaths at hospitals and nursing homes after Katrina’s floodwaters stranded thousands and knocked out power. In July, Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti arrested two nurses and a doctor, alleging they murdered at least four patients at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans by injecting with them with narcotics. A grand jury has not yet heard that case. (USATODAY)
