An Arkansas judge has ruled the hospital where a TV anchor died can’t be blamed for the wrongdoing of two former hospital workers who illegally looked at her medical records after she was hospitalized.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports Pulaski County Circuit Judge Leon Johnson ruled Aug. 26 in the case of former KATV anchor Anne Pressly, who was found beaten in her bed in 2008.
A man who confessed to attacking Pressly was convicted of capital murder and rape, among other charges, and is serving a life sentence.
Johnson tossed the lawsuit filed by Pressly’s mother against CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, but allowed her suit to proceed against the ex-workers and a doctor who viewed the records.
Pressly’s mother, Patti Cannady, alleges the workers viewed the records out of curiosity.
