A former nurse from South Haven who was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of a patient has had her nursing license permanently revoked.
The office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says 43-year-old Judith Sobol was on meth when a 3-year-old Coloma Township girl in her care died. The girl needed a ventilator, and the child’s parents discovered Sobol incoherent and the child unresponsive with her trachea tube disconnected on June 20 of last year.
Sobol was convicted by a Berrien County jury of second-degree murder and in May of this year was sentenced to 30 to 75 years in prison.
On behalf of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, the Attorney General issued an administrative complaint against Sobol to permanently revoke her nursing license. The Board of Nursing Disciplinary Subcommittee issued an order doing so in November. Nessel says the move helps protect the integrity of the nursing profession.
