Anna Pou case

State Attorney General Charles Foti announced the arrests the next day, at a widely televised news conference.

Charles Foti lost the 2007 election for state Attorney General after criticism for prosecuting Pou and the nurses.

University of Pennsylvania bioethicist Arthur Caplan also stated that all nine of the deaths were homicides; the administration of the drugs was "not consistent with the ethical standards of palliative care that prevail in the United States," precisely in that the death of a patient must not be the goal of a doctor's treatment; and death, in his opinion, was the goal in these in cases.
