The murder trial of Dr. William Husel resumed today for its fifth week. Testimony began with another family member of one of the patients who died while under Husel's care.

While approval would only be for those populations, an infectious disease specialist from Mount Carmel Medical Group says may be good for everyone.

The trial resumed Thursday with Dr. Wes Ely on the stand, a physician and professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University.

Much of Thursday's proceedings revolved around a second pharmacist who worked at Mount Carmel West when Husel prescribed painkiller doses that prosecutors say killed patients.

During the second day of testimony, the prosecution questioned pharmacist Talon Schroyer, who worked with Husel at Mount Carmel West.

More than three years since he was fired, the murder trial of former Mount Carmel doctor William Husel began this morning with opening statements. Prosecutors say the former anesthesiologist ordered excessive doses of fentanyl that hastened the deaths of patients.

The former Mount Carmel anesthesiologist faces 14 counts of murder after prosecutors say he ordered excessive doses of painkillers that hastened the deaths of patients.

A Franklin County Common Pleas Court judge dismissed 11 of the 25 charges filed against former Mount Carmel doctor William Husel.

Judge Michael J. Holbrook said he will likely approve prosecutors' plan to dismiss a portion of the 25 murder counts against the former Mount Carmel doctor.
