Trial Date For Former VA Nurse Delayed
KENTUCKY....
The trial date for former Lexington Veterans Affairs Medical Center nurse 33 year old Maria Kelly Whitt of Mount Sterling has been changed from October 12th to January 18th to give the government sufficient time to provide records to defense attorneys. Whitt is accused of killing World War II veteran 90 year old Jesse Lee Chain, who died of a morphine overdose in September 2007 at the VA hospital. Prosecutors say Whitt gave Chain a series of morphine injections. Whitt has pleaded not guilty.
