The defense team of East Texas nurse and serial killer William George Davis is prohibited from contacting jurors without permission after the court received several reports of "harassment" against members of the 2021 jury.
During a status hearing in the 114th District Court Thursday, Judge Austin Reeve Jackson said the court received calls from jurors in Davis' trial saying members of his defense team would refuse to accept no for an answer.
Davis was sentenced to death in October 2021 for killing four patients while working as a nurse at the Christus Trinity Mother Frances Louis and Peaches Owen Heart Hospital by injecting air into the patients' arterial systems. He is currently appealing his death sentence.
