Update: 2 months in jail, then probation.

TO recap: Sheriff Roberts and County Attorney Tidwell got jail time for their role in this sordid misuse of power, and the doctor at the center of this mess now cannot practice medicine.

We’ll have to wait to see if he gets jail time from this.

Unfortunately, it’s still not over. Arafiles is still under indictment for aggravated perjury in Andrews County for his statements in the Nurse trial.

None of this restores the careers of the two nurses who were the victims of this.
