Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills

Circuit Judge John J. Murphy III agreed with the defense that prosecutors had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Jorge Carballo had acted with reckless disregard for human life or had demonstrated conscious indifference to his patients’ safety.

A judge has acquitted Jorge Carballo, administrator of Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, Broward, of causing the overheating deaths of nine patients after Hurricane Irma in 2017.

Prosecutors claim Jorge Carballo abandoned his patients, going home after the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills lost power to its air conditioner during the 2017 storm. Nine people died.

A dozen patients' deaths were ruled homicides. They died after Irma knocked out power to the air conditioning system at the South Florida center in 2017.
