A Mission Viejo dermatologist and mother of two was indicted by an Orange County Grand Jury on multiple felonies for allegedly poisoning her husband over several weeks by allegedly spiking his drinks with dangerous household chemicals, causing him stomach ulcers.
Yue “Emily” Yu, 45, of Irvine was indicted on three felony counts of poisoning and one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury. She faces a maximum sentence of eight years and eight months if convicted on all counts. She is scheduled to be arraigned on April 18, 2023.
The grand jury indictment detailing the charges against Yu was unsealed Wednesday morning. The handing down of the indictment requires Yu to self-report to the Medical Board of California, which will determine whether she will be allowed to continue to practice medicine.
