Tiga pegawai psikiatri didakwa atas kematian pasien di Washington

Tiga pegawai di Psychiatric Institute of Washington di Washington, D.C., menghadapi dakwaan kelalaian kriminal atas kematian seorang pasien berusia 58 tahun pada tahun 2020. Jaksa Penuntut Umum AS Jeanine Pirro mengatakan bahwa rekaman video menunjukkan para staf tersebut melakukan salam kepalan tangan dan berbincang selama beberapa menit sementara pria itu berjuang untuk bernapas di atas kasur. Para pekerja tersebut telah menjalani pembacaan dakwaan minggu ini dan dibebaskan sambil menunggu persidangan.

Nelson Kuma (37), Richard Hounnou (45), dan perawat terdaftar Norma Munoz-Bent (68) bekerja di Psychiatric Institute of Washington pada 24 April 2020, saat pasien G.W. mengalami keadaan darurat dan membutuhkan resusitasi. Menurut bukti video yang dikutip oleh Pirro dalam konferensi pers yang disiarkan oleh WUSA, G.W., yang ditempatkan di bawah perawatan intensif satu-lawan-satu dengan pemeriksaan kesehatan setiap 15 menit, menunjukkan sesak napas dua hari kemudian pada pukul 12.38 siang saat berbaring tanpa busana di atas kasur di lantai.
