Crystal Rose, attorney for Xerox Hawaii, argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed because there are no allegations in the complaint that Sexton acted intentionally to place Shin in a "zone of imminent danger" or cause injury to Shin.Xerox attorneys said that the corporation and official, Glenn Sexton, are not responsible for the massacre. Xerox said that because Shin was an employee at the time of the fatal shooting, the matter should be handled through a worker's compensation claim.

Mori worked as a licensed practical nurse at the private hospital from February 1999 until last month. Police said he admitted administering the drug to other patients during that period. An overdose of vecuronium bromide can kill within two minutes of being injected, as it can affect the heart muscle.

All of them died within 10 days of being admitted, including one who died the day after being hospitalized.

In one case, an 88-year-old woman took a turn for the worse and died soon after receiving an intravenous drip administered by Mori on the day she was to be discharged from the clinic. A doctor at the clinic said the cause of death was stroke and that "it was not rare" for the health conditions of elderly people to suddenly worsen, family members said.

Police are investigating the connection between Mori and the deaths but will not yet say if he was directly involved, the sources said. He is also reportedly being questioned over the death of a kindergarten boy who died shortly after receiving an injection from Mori in September.
