An Ohio doctor accused of killing 25 patients for handing out voluminous numbers of painkillers is set for a hearing as he tries to add high-profile lawyer Jose Baez, known for representing Casey Anthony, Harvey Weinstein, and Aaron Hernandez, to his legal team.

An Aug. 28 hearing for Dr. William Husel was “expected to address a potential new legal team for Husel,” attorneys Diane Menashe and Baez, reported WBNS.
