On Thursday, September 10, 2009 Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said
he will decide whether to reopen an investigation into the deaths of
patients stranded at Memorial Medical Center during
Hurricane Katrina after The New York Times' magazine
raised questions about 17 deaths at the hospital.
I'm going to have to talk to some people
involved in the investigation and determine whether or not
we believe this thing is something we have to look at
further.
