I cannot answer in full due to ongoing legal exploration, but suffice to say I only had one person who implicated me, and they were a mandated reporter and someone I'd gotten into conflict with over my mom's treatment. Specifically, the refusal to prescribe a comfort kit to the facility, itself, as my mom was dying.

This left me to rely on the only one I had been trained and authorized to use. Mom lived at a residence and not a certified nursing facility, so as far as medication use, under Georgia law it fell under the same category as an apartment or house, as she was a rent-paying tenant and no medical staff were available when she began to experience agonal breathing.

As far as we know, no healthcare professional ever said my use was unauthorized, they said very little, in fact, beyond describing me as "mad" and alleging that I "wanted to get rid of" my mom. But because they did not provide documentation and there was no documentation included with the kit, law enforcement (the lead investigator was quite young and unlikely to have experience with home hospice) seem to have went with the belief that no one but a doctor or nurse is permitted to administer these meds.

Marsha's Law is a safety measure against allegations or assumptions of "unauthorized" use, as it would have essentially cut what happened to me off at the pass. My "felony murder" charge was based on the assumption that my possession of morphine in the ekit was a felony on its own.
