Innocent Murder ; The Trial of Sister Jessie McTavish, Edinburgh 1974 (Four Scots Trials Book 2)

Product Information

Daniel Green has served nearly three decades in a North Carolina prison maintaining his innocence in the killing. On each episode, host Robin Warder examines a new murder or missing persons case, tackling a wide variety of mysteries from different countries and time periods. Seven of the incidents involved only three babies, so were not “independent” events as the court assumed. But on closer examination it turned out that there had been 11 such incidents, seven on her shifts and four out of them. She was jailed for life in 1974 after being convicted of killing an elderly patient by giving her illegal injections.

But Norris was already armed with the knowledge needed to carry out his deadly work, having studied insulin use and learned about the management of patients with diabetes at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. And there is even more truth outside the hospital dossiers (a culture of lying, the covering up of mistakes). Because he had been born with a heart condition he had had many, many tests/scans and surgery 3 months before he died. Join true-crime experts, Rabia Chaudry and Ellyn Marsh, along with special celebrity guests as they break down their favorite true crime cases.Her case also shares characteristics with that of Benjamin Geen, a British nurse jailed for 30 years in 2006 for murdering two patients and seriously harming 15 others. In 1999, she received an honorary degree from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario (from which she had graduated with a Bachelor of Nursing Science degree in 1978) for her work in promoting integrity in the nursing field.

The story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is an unbelievable tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong. Although McTavish successfully appealed against her conviction two years later, it is not hard to imagine that the case struck a chord with Norris as he trudged to his next placement, already disgusted at the prospect of another day in a care home. How did her technology, meant to revolutionize health care, potentially put millions of patients a . The dossiers which will go to the police (and importantly, the layman’s summary, written by the coordinating doctor) does contain ‘truth’ but not the ‘whole truth’.

Operation Hummingbird is still ongoing, so I am assuming LL could still be charged with further cases yet. Anyway a lot of the information in the dossiers is wrong, corrupted; misclassifications galore, important documents are lost, important forms never got filled in properly.

What appears to have happened in both cases is described by Professor Hutton as “diagnostic suspicion bias”. Three appeals court judges said that while there was ample evidence to support the conviction, [6] the McTavish's legal team's successful argument—that the judge, Lord Robertson, had inadvertently misled the jury—would prevail. Mr Gregg said: "The Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust have been extremely supportive during our investigation and were it not for the prompt actions of one doctor, Dr Emma Ward, following the unexplained coma that beset Ethel Hall, then I am convinced that other people would have lost their lives at his hands.

Nancy Grace had a perfect conviction record during her decade as a prosecutor and used her TV show to find missing people, fugitives on the run and unseen clues. Another conference, gather some dossiers – half a dozen very suspicious cases to report to the police to begin with. Wendy Hesketh discusses this in her forthcoming book (An Introduction to Medico-crime, due out end of 2014). But a source close to the inquiry said: "I'm sure the seed of the idea for murder was planted during lectures and nursing training in Dundee, when he would have found out that insulin is the perfect homicidal agent because it leaves the blood very quickly.
