There were two more murders 15 miles away arrived. They found will tell you how the there has been the argument for and against assisted suicide and euthanasia. Both sides bring valid points to the table and most have their own opinion on the matter. Some countries have added laws to allow terminally ill patients to seek ways to end their lives but others like France and early 2000 are steadfastly against the matter on January 20th, 2003 a trial began that re-sparked the argument when a woman claimed to have killed 30 or more of her terminally ill patients was Christina vir. Murderer who got Twisted enjoyment ending the lives of the sick or was she simply a nurse who was overcome with compassion? So if you like your coffee hot, but your bones chilled sit back and start your day with a morning cup of murder. The Francois can a hospital in matla surely seem to have a problem in the late 90s. It seemed that the patient's resigning in the numerology department or die. Dying at an alarming rate. Now these patients were terminally ill. So at first it didn't raise an eyebrow, but as the number reached the double digits, they grew concerned by 1998 and inquiry led to the arrest of one of their nurses Chris Team of the Year, according to their investigation. She may have been responsible for as many as 30 deaths over the course of a year. However, according to Christine who confessed to some The murders she had ended their lives as an act of mercy and that all of these patients asked her to end their life and suffering all of her patients were between the ages of 70 to 288 and all terminally ill when Christine would inject them with a lethal dose of morphine potassium or other drugs. Now this is the part where everyone who is listening form their opinions on Christine. These opinions will rely heavily on what side of the fence you stand on when it comes to a patient's right to die. However, France is a country that does not legally recognized this right to die. Therefore while some of you may see Christine as a hero and I can't say that I disagree in some cases France saw her as a murderer. Not just that but some of the relatives were coming. It's stating that they had no idea their family member wanted to die. And in some cases that they were adamant that they wanted to live. She was arrested and charged with manslaughter her trial which began on January 20th 2003 became a national sensation Christine who had once admitted to ending the lives of over two dozen patients was now saying there was just for whom she Mercy killed She claimed her original statement was made under duress then came the report that stated that Christine had a morbid fascination with death and the charges against her were upgraded to murder. No one knew what to think was Christine simply a nurse who made a poor judgment call but had good intentions or was she a serial killer masquerading as a nurse to get closer to her victims the difference would decide if she deserved life in prison or a lesser sentence on January 30th 2003 after four hours of deliberation Christine was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of six of her patients. She was also banned from ever working as a nurse again. She was released in 2007. Thank you for joining me in my morning cup of murder.
