Louisiana doctors face murder charges after Katrina deaths
Dr Anna Pou and nurses Cheri Landry and Lori Budo were charged with second degree murder in the deaths of four Memorial Medical Center patients after Katrina. Prosecutors say four patients aged 61 to 90 were given morphine and Versed amid chaotic flood conditions and power outages. Medical colleagues defend the trio as heroes who stayed to treat desperate patients, warning the case could deter future volunteers. The attorney general noted the investigation is ongoing and the case may proceed to a grand jury.
