PHOENIX — Retired Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor will
head a special investigation into allegations of physical and sexual misconduct
at the Arizona State Hospital.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced the move Tuesday.
Ducey said he was confident that McGregor will conduct a thorough and impartial
investigation that will put the state hospital on the right path.
Three state executives have lost their jobs after accusations that severely
mentally ill patients at the state hospital were sexually abused.
The departures occurred after media reports that detailed how allegations of
misconduct went unreported and uninvestigated.
