MIAMI (AP) - A former Miami juvenile detention center nurse is pleading guilty to a misdemeanor in the 2003 death of a teenager that led to a state juvenile justice reforms.
Under a plea agreement, Dianne Demeritte will serve one year on probation for culpable negligence in the death from a burst appendix of 17-year-old Omar Paisley. Demeritte also will give up her nursing license and apologized to the boy's family, Miami-Dade County prosecutors said Thursday.
Charges against a second nurse were dropped. Both had been charged with manslaughter and third-degree murder.
The Paisley case led to a shakeup at the state Department of Juvenile Justice, including the departure of some two dozen officials. The state also paid more than $1 million to Paisley's family.
