Nurse Heather Pressdee is accused of giving lethal doses of insulin to numerous patients at care homes in Pennsylvania. She allegedly gave the doses on overnight shifts, when staffing was low.
A nurse is facing multiple charges of administering lethal or potentially lethal doses of insulin to 22 patients at several health care centres across Pennsylvania. Heather Pressdee was charged on Thursday with two counts of first-degree murder, 17 counts of attempted murder and 19 counts of neglect of a care-dependent person, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office said.
'The allegations against Ms Pressdee are disturbing,' she added. 'It is hard to comprehend how a nurse, trusted to care for her patients, could choose to deliberately and systematically harm them.' The nurse's lawyer told Sky News' US partner NBC News that their goal was to avoid the death penalty.
