"Craig, a New Orleans lawyer. "It showed that Mom had received on September 1 eight milligrams of morphine, which was four times the amount that she was prescribed by her doctor, and which was a lethal amount that was certainly enough to kill her," Nelson said. Nelson said neither he nor his sister Kathy, a registered nurse who was with their mother after Katrina until guards ordered her to leave the hospital, were called before the grand jury. Their forensic expert wasn't called either."

Probably, because what they had to say was irrelevant and flat out wrong. A lethal dose of morphine is on the order of 100's of mgs, not 8mgs. The dose found on autopsy is completely consistent with the docs stated intent of rendering the patients asleep.

As far as the lawyer's concern for his ma goes, the money grubbing oaf left his ma in that predicament, while he probably exited NO himself for his own comfort and safety. It's also very unlikely that a nurse would be tossed from such a situation, unless they were being a hindrance.

What was the doses of morphine and versed found at autopsy?
The reference to morphine that you are referring to was to a documented dose in the MAR which is not the doses in question.
