The prosecution of RaDonda Vaught: An ethical and legal mistake.
This paper addresses the ethics of the prosecution of nurse RaDonda Vaught for a medication error that led to the death of her patient. It is argued that the prosecution of Ms. Vaught was wrong; however, in contrast to some commentators, it is argued that the wrongness of Ms. Vaught's prosecution did not stem from its effects on patient safety, but from the fact that the charges, in this case, were legally and ethically unjustified in themselves.
