The most common errors
were giving hospitalized
patients medication at the wrong
time or not at all, researchers
found in a study of 36 hospitals
and nursing homes in Colorado
and Georgia.
Errors occurred in nearly one
of five doses in a typical. 300-
bed hospital, which translates to
about two errors per patient
daily. Seven percent of the
errors were considered poten
tially harmful.

Man convicted for third time ir
triple murder of elder siblings
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A man has been
convicted for the third time in the 1983 slayings of
three elderly siblings during a robbery.
The jury, which has been sequestered, returns
Monday to decide whether David Chmiel. 47.
should again be sentenced to death. The panel
deliberated for 10 hours before returning with its
guilty verdict Saturday evening.
Chmiel’s previous convictions and death sen
tences were overturned on appeal.
He was convicted of first-degree murder in the
deaths of Angelina, James and Victor Lunario of
Throop, all in their late 60s and early 70s, as well
as two counts of robbery and one of burglary.
Defense lawyers maintained that the killer was
Chmiel’s brother. Martin, w ho was a chief witness
for the prosecution.
Martin Chmiel testified that he helped plan a
robbery, saying he told his brother the Lunarios
kept large sums of cash, but had nothing more to
do with the scheme. He said David later admitted
to him that he stabbed the three and stoic S'
from their home.
