William Husel sits during his trial Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, in Columbus, Ohio. Despite being found innocent of murder charges related to multiple patient deaths, Husel determined that practicing medicine again in Ohio would be impossible following a years-long ordeal and so chose to surrender his medical license, his attorney said, Thursday, May 12.
Husel, 46, was acquitted last month of 14 counts of murder following accusations that he ordered excessive amounts of painkillers for patients in the Mount Carmel Health System. He was charged in 2019 with 25 deaths, but a new prosecutor reduced the counts before the trial began in March. (Barbara J. Perenic/The Columbus Dispatch via AP, Pool)
