The Orange County Register: Former Dentist Who Killed Three People Paroled

A former Costa Mesa dentist who served more than a quarter of a century in prison for murder after three of his patients died in his dental chair from improper use of anesthesia in the 1980s was paroled from Folsom Prison Tuesday.

Tony Protopappas, who made national headlines in the early 1980s when he was convicted of three counts of second-degree murder, was picked up by his brother at the gates of Folsom Prison shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday, said Santa Ana attorney Rich Pfeiffer, Protopappas's appellate lawyer.
