In July 2015, approximately a year and a half after his license was revoked, Duntsch was arrested in Dallas and charged with six felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (i.e., his hands and surgical tools)-five counts of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and one count of injury to a child, elderly or disabled person. The indictments were handed up just four months before the statute of limitations ran out. The last charge was for the maiming and paralyzing of Efurd. Prosecutors put a high priority on that charge, as it provided the widest sentencing range, with Duntsch facing up to life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors sought a sentence long enough to ensure that Duntsch would never be able to practice medicine again.

Over objections from Duntsch’s lawyers, prosecutors called many of Duntsch’s other patients to the stand in order to prove that his actions were intentional.

His defense blamed Duntsch’s actions on poor training and control by the hospitals. After 13 days of trial, the jury needed only four hours to convict him for the maiming of Efurd. On February 20, 2017 he was sentenced to life in prison.
