An oral surgeon was convicted on Friday of a murder charge in the death of his girlfriend who overdosed on anesthetic drugs that he administered at his Maryland home.

Jurors heard testimony that James Ryan, 50, set up an intravenous stand to administer the addictive drugs to his 25-year-old girlfriend, Sarah Harris, who was found dead at his Montgomery County home in January 2022.

    Ick. A fifty year old dentist with a girlfriend half his age, who he routinely hooks up to an IV drip cocktail of tranquilizers. That’s just awful.

    Not to imply that she wasn’t a willing participant. Addicts usually are, which makes them such easy prey.

    I do hope he gets a long enough sentence that he leaves prison as an old man or in a box.
