Ohio State professor 'surprised' about not guilty verdict in Dr. Husel murder trial

Ohio State University law professor Ric Simmons said he thought the prosecution did a good job of presenting their case against Dr. William Husel.

[@teejayventura6758]

Not sure how you could be surprised. The prosecution did not meet their burden. In addition to that, does anybody really think we should send a doctor to prison for LIFE just because he gave comfort care? Many, if not all these patients were extremely ill. I believe the jury made the right decision.

[@kathismith7441]

Surprised? We prosecutors telling medical people how to do their jobs. Thank God.

Palliative care needs to be acknowledged in this country.

[@brettharsanye5939]

I agree

[@evelyne7071]

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Palliative care is not Hospice. Neither is “End of Life Care”. But, these two terms are not discussed by most people who have not experienced those dying over a long period or on the precipice of death. No these people were not in hospice…..nor does hospice overtly give palliative or end of life care…….but, they often do covertly after all else has failed ie…..at the end.

@@joecamel4006 they were intubated to keep them breathing...they were already dead without the artificial respiration. No one was going to make them live and go home breathing on their own. You evidently didn't watch the trial.

[@DOLfirst]

@@joecamel4006 again, you didn't see the trial. He didn't kill anyone. Their families were present at the time of their deaths. (Some of whom required resuscitation efforts multiple times before intubation btw) Why make comments about which you know nothing? If you feel the need to make a comment and you don't want to sound like a fool, invest in the time to have knowledge of the topic.

I’d suggest if you attend OSU Law School you not take this professor’s classes. What a hack. Not guilty was the only fair verdict. The prosecutors were corrupt. They allowed perjured testimony by patients family members who’s depositions didn’t remotely match their trial testimony. I pray Dr. Husel can practice medicine again and he wins the defamation lawsuit that can now proceed now that he’s acquitted of these trumped up charges. Government needs to stay out of doctor/patient care. Bravo to this jury.

[@kathismith7441]

Thank God. Prosecutors do not need to tell medical people how to do their jobs. Dangerous president. Stay out of healthcare. You don’t have a clue.

[@kathleenamatangelo3713]

Add to the list who needs to stay out of healthcare administrators, bureaucrats, and politicians.

The OSU lawyer is as clueless as all non medical personnel. His comments show his ignorance.

Yay. Good job jury and defense attorneys.

Best verdict ever! Was SO happy for Husel, family & defense team! Thank you, jurors, right decision! : ) : ) : )

He's a professor? lmao. Ditch his advice at all costs.

[@marylouculkar4391]

He must be related to one of the prosecutors. This was always NOT GUILTY. BRAVO TO THE JURY.

[@AsianPoshDorene]

Embarrassing for the law department

[@marylouculkar4391]

Ohio State professor you have opining is pathetic. This was always a malicious unfounded prosecution. Not guilty is JUSTICE.

Thank god for Jose Baez and Diane Menashe!

"Husel should appreciate this SMALL victory" ???? Was that a serious comment? How was this case in any way small? He was David against the giant.

[@sillydillydokieo]

LOL seriously

[@tanimal3964]

Who's that professor stupid he is not guilty. It's could be a miss trial

[@vickiyager7183]

You are calling a professor stupid?

[@johnmontecalvo1508]

if you got the Legal Eagles you can do what you want? That's not Comfort Care, Dr. Jack Kevorkian gave comfort care , because his patients consented, Did these Dr. have the murdered victims consent? This is exactly what Rita Mays did,I no, Casey Anthony was innocent to.

[@joycebruhn1346]

many drs prescribe stuff and well it has been a problem but .. i think they shoukd stop some .. but i seen old people over abuse or forget they just took some or didnt get help...they took so many they got or bought more on the street mixed some they were hooked they also drank when it says no .. and many pharmacies regulate things make you wait for prescriptions like they count how many so they had to have done some dockey chnging my mom got four prescription from varied places for vicodin but they would fill them because they only allow 90 or less a month so fyi she took way tooo many right to be out right but here is the truth she was left in the last two weeks with tylenol too many like so many tylenol to stop the pain ..it didnt and thats what almost killed her the other things they do when they cant get their supply so like michael should charge drs you need oterssto stop the weeks after monitor systems etc

[@ShimmeringIceCrystal626]

He still has 10 civil cases back to back at starting in June. Good luck proving you weren't neglectful. Mount Carmel Trinity Health has already proved he was neglectful by settling 14 of the cases already.

[@5830danny]

LOL. They will lose the civil cases just like they lost the criminal case!

[@BuckFidenMD4547]

Sour grapes don’t make good juice

[@salb8275]

Hopefully the win in the trial will help in the civil suits. What is sad is that the patients were already dead so to speak. They would not have been able to live with a machine breathing for them. The, some anyway, families were there and decided to remove the breathing machine so why do they feel the need to sue now, just for a payday? It WILL NOT bring their loved one back. I speak from experience having to make the decision to remove my mother from life support and watch her die. It is a very emotional time and to “blame” the doctor would have upset my mother. She always said that she did not want to ever live on a machine so we honored her wishes and had we sued she would’ve rolled over in her grave. To do this just to get a payday I think it’s a gross injustice to palliative care as a whole and looks bad for every single one of the families that are suing him. Hopefully he will prevail in those cases as well!!

[@joycebruhn1346]

but peopel also who are old dont know enough about cause effects i have a guy who always says omg i forgot to take my meds or did i take my meds ug these are big oh i forgots

[@Laulie98]

Genuinely disturbing verdict. He was guilty as hell.

[@grophers1189]

Guilty of reckless homicide maybe but murder means there’s an intent to end the life and the prosecution did not present that evidence

[@marylouculkar4391]

Glad you aren’t on a jury. Your bias without facts is what’s disturbing. This was a malicious prosecution. Corruption at Trinity. Inept police investigation. Corrupt DA. NOT GUILTY IS JUSTICE

[@Dilligaf1]

No, he wasn't...
