Stepping Hill saline deaths: Nurse Rebecca Leighton charges dropped

[dipsydoodle]

Prosecutors have dropped the case against nurse Rebecca Leighton, who was charged with contaminating saline at a Greater Manchester hospital.

Ms Leighton, 27, of Heaviley, was arrested by police investigating the deaths of several patients at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport.

The Crown Prosecution Service said it was "no longer appropriate" to continue the case against Ms Leighton.

It has told the prison where she was being held that she can be released.

Very odd given the CPS thought they had a case.

3. This is going to rebound on someone big-time IMHO

Clearly the Law - yet again - was barking up the wrong tree.

Once the lady sells her story to the media, excuses about how big this case is proving won't be enough to protect those concerned, I fear ....
