I used to live in Alpine and know Pecos very well. The people there will not like that this nurse was prosecuted for reporting wrongdoing AT ALL. Unless there are stupider-than-average lawyers involved (As there have been so far), I’d expect she will be able to get just about any settlement she asks for.

BTW: I’m sure every juror had decided she was not guilty before they ever retired to deliberate. That, “less than an hour” was filled with nothing but the formalities.

Cases like this fill me with disgust.

The actual guilty/not guilty vote probably took 5 minutes. The other 55 was spent electing a foreman (10 – 15 minutes) and figuring out how to fill out the paperwork and which charge forms to sign.

In addition to the civil trial,
1. The FBI should file criminal civil rights charges against the Sheriff and Prosecutor.
2. The OIG should pursue the hospital and administrator,
3. The Texas State Bar should disbar the prosecutor.
4. The Texas Medical Board should sanction Arafiles.

Pardon my memory, U S District Court, Western District of Texas, Pecos.

It will be interesting to see what actions are taken against the attorneys, sheriff, and the docs involved.
