A lead investigator in the criminal case against former Tennessee nurse RaDonda Vaught testified Wednesday that state investigators found Vanderbilt University Medical Center had a "heavy burden of responsibility" for a grievous drug error that killed a patient in 2017, but pursued penalties and criminal charges only against the nurse and not the hospital itself.
Vanderbilt received no punishment for the fatal drug error.
It was a highly controversial case that garnered national attention: A nurse charged with homicide for a mistake in treating a patient.
