Beyond a reasonable doubt is the burden on every count, and this jury said the state did not carry it. A long list of accusers is not proof by itself. The verdict is not guilty, and the criminal case is over.
A Pima County jury on Tuesday found Dr. Dung T. Nguyen, 66, not guilty on all 31 counts. The trial started in September. Jurors deliberated for days and returned the verdict around 11 a.m. The judge then lifted the conditions of his release.
He was indicted in April 2025. The counts involved nearly 20 former patients from his years at Grace Health & Healing Center, at 7340 East Speedway in Tucson. Prosecutor Lacee Collins tried the case. Michael Bloom led the defense.
Prosecutors told jurors there was no physical evidence and that the patients' accounts were too similar to set aside. The defense argued that those accounts were not credible and that most of the patients came forward after the case was in the news.

BREAKINGMeehan Sentenced to 20 Years in Kentucky
Twenty years is the judgment on the jury's verdict. She never took the stand, and the state still proved the assault and the witness counts with a 911 call, the officers, and the jail calls. A missing witness is a defense point, not a rule that the case had to be thrown out.

BREAKINGTexas Sets Rubio Execution for Thursday
Three children were killed, and the death sentence from the 2010 retrial is the judgment Texas is preparing to carry out. A competence finding decides whether he understands the punishment. It is not a new verdict on guilt. With the stay denied and clemency refused, Thursday's date is what remains on the state calendar.

BREAKINGMomeni Sentenced to 16 Years to Life
Sixteen years to life is the sentence on a second-degree murder conviction. The jury did not accept self-defense as a complete excuse, and the judge refused a new trial before she imposed the term. An appeal can attack that record. It is not another jury.
