CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – Sentencing has been delayed for a former staffer at a veterans hospital in West Virginia who pleaded guilty to intentionally killing seven patients with fatal doses of insulin.
A federal judge on Friday granted a motion by attorneys for Reta Mays to push back her sentencing. It now will be held May 11-12.
It had been scheduled for Feb. 18-19. Prosecutors had opposed the request as unreasonable. Mays, a former nursing assistant at the Louis A.
Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, was charged with seven counts of second-degree murder and one count of assault with the intent to commit murder of an eighth person.
