Nesset, a former nursing home manager, was convicted in March 1983 of poisoning 22 patients with Curacit, a muscle relaxing drug.[1] He was also convicted of one count of attempted murder and acquitted on two other counts.[2] Nesset may have killed as many as 138 of his patients.[3]
He was sentenced to 21 years in prison, to be followed by ten years of preventative detention.[4] However he was released after serving 12 years of this sentence due to good behaviour.[5]
