Killer nurse families get awards

ALLENTOWN — A jury awarded $95 million in damages Thursday to the families of eight people who claimed their loved ones were among dozens of patients killed by a nurse.

Lehigh County jurors deliberated three hours in the wrongful death suit against nurse Charles Cullen, who is already serving a life sentence in New Jersey after admitting he killed 29 people at hospitals there and in Pennsylvania.

Cullen has told authorities he killed as many as 40 people but has not been charged in the deaths of the patients named in the civil suit.
