DALLAS, Texas – A Dallas jury has sentenced former neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch to life in prison.
Evidence from the case revealed Duntsch incapacitated patients while they were under his knife. The 44-year-old surgeon, who practiced medicine across North Texas, was accused of paralyzing four patients and causing the death of two.
This trial dealt with just one of the cases, a 74-year-old woman. Duntsch was arrested in 2015 on five aggravated-assault charges.
Prosecutors say Duntsch was malicious and reckless while he performed surgery on his patients; his attorneys argued that he was just a lousy surgeon.
