Ky. Nurse Pleads Not Guilty to Killing Veteran
A nurse in Kentucky that was charged with killing a ninety-year-old World War II veteran three years ago recently pleaded not guilty to murder. Attorney for the defense, Patrick Nash, entered the plea for the thirty-two-year-old nurse, Maria Kelly Whitt, at her arraignment in the federal court of Lexington on Friday. She has been accused of killing Jesse L. Chain with a lethal dose of morphine at a veteran’s hospital in 2006.
The trial date has been set for December 7th, but Nash argued that he will need more time to get medical experts as potential witnesses. Nash reported that he is unsure whether Whitt has been questioned about other deaths by federal investigators – specifically, two deaths at the Veterans Affairs Hospital. A federal agent said that the deaths were suspicious. Whitt is currently being held in a Kentucky jail.
