Ex-Nurse Gets Life in 6 Patient Killings
A former nurse was sentenced in Brazil, Ind., to spend the rest of his life in prison for murdering six of his elderly patients. Orville Lynn Majors was sentenced to six consecutive 60-year terms for giving lethal injections of heart-stopping drugs to six patients at Vermillion County Hospital in the mid-1990s. He would have to serve at least 180 years before being eligible for early release. Majors, 38, was convicted Oct. 17 of killing the six patients. Investigators suggested that he gave lethal injections to dozens of patients at the hospital.
