LAS VEGAS, Nev. — A nurse
suspended from her job because of a
police inquiry into possible mercy
killings in a respiratory intensive
care unit of Sunrise Hospital, has de
led any wrongdoing.
Jani Adams, 32, was among six em
ployees suspended when the inves-
igation became public.
Sources said the police are investi
gating reports that a nurse, nick-
amed “Death’s Angel^” tampered
ith life support systems on critically
ill patients.
The investigation began early this
month after a nurse told police she
overheard a conversation in which
two employees predicted a specific
patient would fall victim to “Death’s
Angel” that night.
The police informant said the pa
tient died on the given day, adding
she was told some employees in the
intensive care unit had wagered bets
n the time a patient would die.

AUSTIN — The Texas Court of
riminal Appeals Wednesday re-
ersed the robbery conviction of a
regg County man because the jury
onvicted him under a funadmental-
ly defective charge.
Jerry Jerome Brown was given 15
years in prison for the July 23, 1976,
robbery of Donald Gregg. The in

Gregg with bodily harm during com
mission of the robbery.
But during his instructions to the

ing the government to pay Karla
$2.1 million in damages and medical
care she will need the rest of her life
because of a Navy doctor’s malprac
tice.
Karla now lives in San Mateo,
Calif., with her mother, Yulonda
Foskey O’Neill, a sister, brother and
stepfather, a Coast Guard pilot.
“I’m very satisfied with today’s de
cision, especially because of what it
means for this little girl and her
mother, who after eight years will
finally be able to re-enter the main
stream of life,” said the family’s
attorney, Mark Mandell.
When Karla was 1, her mother be
came concerned about her slow de
velopment. She took her from their
home in Delaware to the Philadel
phia Naval Hospital in 1972 where
she was examined by Dr. Harvey J.

Danits.
Several doctors testified during
the non-jury trial before Chief U.S.
District Judge Raymond Pettine
Danits had failed to give Karla stan
dard neurological tests that would
have shown she had a seizure dis
order. He also failed to give her
drugs to control the seizures, they
said.
In August 1972 Karla suffered a
major seizure tnat left her paraly
zed. It was later determined she
had been mildly retarded before the
seizure occurred.
In his ruling Tuesday, Pettine said
Danits “failed to provide a reason
able standard of care” for the girl.
He noted Karla still has frequent
convulsions and has the mental
capacity of 1-year-old.
“She has life but does not live,”
Pettine said.
He awarded Karla $68,000 for loss
of earning capacity; $1.3 million for
future medical care, including
round-the-clock nursing care; $6,000
for medical equipment; $32,000 for
past expenses incurred by the fami
ly and $700,000 for pain and suf
fering.
U.S. Attorney Paul Murray said
the Justice Department officials in
Washington would have to decide
whether to appeal. The award is be
lieved to be the largest personal in
jury award in the state’s history.
O’Neill, a nurse, was in Mas
