In nurse's trial, witness says hospital bears 'heavy' responsibility for patient death

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.

"We the jury find the defendant RaDonda Vaught guilty of gross neglect of an impaired adult."

The felony conviction could have brought prison time, but Charlene Murphey's son Michael said, "Knowing my mom the way mom was she wouldn't want to see her pull no jail time. That was just mom. she was a very forgiving person."

The judge then sentenced Vaught to three years of supervised probation.
