A Nevada jury put the state and a former mental hospital administrator on the hook Thursday for class-action damages that could range from about $9 million to more than $22 million for putting patients on buses in Las Vegas for one-way trips to cities around the country.
Merin said he heard similar stories of indigent patients arriving in strange cities in every U.S. state and sleeping in bus stations, under benches and on the street if they were not arrested or hospitalized.
