Reta Mays Sentencing is Today

Sentencing is happening today for Reta Mays – the fired nursing assistant who admitting to killing seven elderly veterans with fatal doses of insulin at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg. She faces up to life in prison for each of seven counts of second-degree murder. Mays admitted at a July plea hearing to injecting the veterans with unprescribed insulin while she worked overnight shifts at the hospital between 2017 and 2018. Hospital officials reported the deaths to the VA inspector general and fired Mays. The motive is still unclear. Some family members are expected to make statements during the sentencing hearing.
