Page "Kermit, Texas" Paragraph 7

The charges against one of the nurses were ultimately dismissed.

The other nurse was acquitted at trial.

Due to some of the circumstances of the prosecution and the underlying situation at the hospital, a special prosecutor with the Texas Attorney General's office became involved after the criminal prosecution against the two nurses ended.

Ultimately, indictments against four of the people involved in the retaliation against the nurses were issued.

The physician whom the nurses originally filed a formal complaint against was indicted on felony retaliation and misuse of official information charges.

The sheriff and county attorney involved in the criminal investigation against the nurses were indicted on misuse of official information and official oppression charges.

The hospital administrator Stan Wiley was indicted on felony retaliation charges and accepted a plea deal in March 2011.

He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $ 2, 000.

As part of the plea deal, Wiley agreed to cooperate with the prosecution of the three remaining defendants.
