Unfortunately, criminal psychology is not an exact science; forensic evidence is. If – as is reported the only evidence so far is one print on one drip bag, then that would simply not stand as the basis for successful prosecution. I would have assume that the exercise facing the cops is to go through the staff rotas and work out exactly who was where and when over the period the crimes were committed (assuming, of course, that the drips were contaminated within the hospital and not at some point prior). In addition, because hospitals are relatively ‘open’ institutions, it is possible that these crimes were committed by visitors or even by another patient (don’t know over what time the crimes were done). On top of all this, they will probably be interviewing surviving victims to see if they can possibly recall who may have may have been around their bedside and been in a position to play around with the drips.

There’s a long way to go on this yet and I for one am certainly a long way from being convinced of the guilt of this young lady.
