Nurse Murders Multiple Patients

Charles Cullen, a former nurse at over six different hospitals over the past fifteen years, has just been found guilty of murdering his patients. While he claims that he wanted to "relieve them of their suffering," all of the patients he killed were in recovery from illnesses that were entirely treatable. Using excessive amounts of Digoxin, a drug that disrupts the regular pattern of the heart and stop it all together, Cullen managed to kill multiple patients without the hospital knowing the cause of death. He put this powerful drug in saline solution bags and administered IV's to patients who did not need them. Charles Cullen was interviewed for the first time on 60 minutes, in which interviewers ask him if he considers himself a serial killer. Cullen was often distracted and unemotional to each prying question. When asked if he could give an explanation to the families who have lost love ones due to his malicious behavior, he only shook his head no and said "there is no explanation or justification. I just did it."
