Mar. 20, 2019 – Hsiu-Ying “Lisa’’ Tseng was convicted in October 2015 of three counts of second-degree murder stemming from the deaths of Vu Nguyen, 28, of Lake Forest; Steven Ogle, 24, of Palm Desert; and Joseph Rovero III, a 21-year-old Arizona State University student from San Ramon, between March and December 2009. Tseng — who was the first doctor in California to be charged with murder for the deaths of patients given prescriptions for drugs — was also found guilty of 19 counts of unlawful controlled substance prescription and one count of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.
In a Dec. 14 ruling, a three-justice panel from California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal found there was “overwhelming evidence’’ of Tseng’s “knowledge of risk and reckless indifference to her patients’ lives in her prescribing practices to support her convictions.’’
