Westerman Trial Opens inNorwalk Over Breathing Tube Death
Westerman, 37, of Norwalk, stands trial for attempted murder in the death of Walter Schafer at Fisher-Titus Memorial Hospital. Prosecutors say she disconnected a life support endotracheal tube and turned off an alarm, leading to Schafer's death about 22 minutes later. Whitney, her attorney, says Westerman did not alert staff, believing doctors would remove the tube. The trial in Huron County Common Pleas Court features testimony from nurse Shirley Gray and a videotaped ICU view, with a jury of seven men and five women.
