Jurors have left for the day in the William #Husel trial. They will return Wednesday at 9 a.m. to continue deliberations. They got the case one week ago today.

I really thought it would be over today....not one question that we know about. There must be some movement to get consensus or I would have thought they would have called it today.

William Husel verdict: Five things we know

Why did the jury reach this verdict?
We don't know why the jury decided the way they did. Jurors had not spoken to the media as of 11 a.m. Wednesday and it was unclear if any of them would speak publicly about their decision.

SO happy. I was nervous to watch it live. I don’t know how Dr Husel stood there the whole time.
What’s up for him now? A bunch of civil lawsuits?

Franklin County jury finds Dr. William Husel not guilty on all 14 murder counts
Husel still faces more than 10 active civil lawsuits from the families of patients who died while under his care. Several of the patient's families have already settled civil lawsuits worth millions of dollars.

I believe he still will be having attorneys on retainer for the foreseeable future.

As his medical license is still under emergency suspension in Ohio, he will have a hearing before the Ohio Medical Board concerning his license to practice medicine in Ohio.

There is the possibility that the Ohio Medical Board could decide to revoke his medical license.

And there are a number of civil lawsuits that he will have to deal with in the foreseeable future.

The civil lawsuits could allege that negligent or reckless homicide was involved in the patient's deaths.

In my opinion, even though he was found not guilty of criminal charges, I have a sneaking suspicion that his medical career is over.

I suspect that he could have difficulty obtaining any kind of malpractice insurance from an insurance company.

It's may be possible that he might not be able to obtain a medical license to practice medicine in another state.

I'm also thinking that it's very doubtful that he could even teach medicine at a medical school anywhere.
