[Kamille]

@CP24 Wettlaufer is now pleading guilty to all charges. Crying can be heard in the courtroom.

http://www.cp24.com/news/wettlaufer-pleads-guilty-to-all-14-counts-against-her-1.3438700

 

[Kamille]

@CP24 The agreed statement of facts is nearly 60 pages long, Crown attorney says. Lawyer will read it out loud, expected to take 2 hours.

@CP24 A video will also be shown in court, and that's expected to take two and a half hours, Crown says.

As a mother of a Type 1 diabetic, it disgusts me that a nurse, would use a life-saving medication to end the lives of other people. At least she pled guilty to all charges so that families don't have to go through the long process of trial.

Families of victims are crying, there are sobs

I can't even imagine what those families are going through listening to this in court and knowing how helpless and vulnerable their loved ones were at the hands of this monster. :cry::maddening:

Especially because it is so difficult to place a loved one in a care home anyway. We had to do that with my mom and it was so hard. We wanted to take care of her ourselves but it just wasn't possible for any of us to take her in - she had dementia and COPD and needed constant supervision. She passed away last October and it still haunts all of us, wondering if we made the right choice, even though objectively we know we did...in our hearts it still feels wrong.

Thank God this woman has been caught and won't ever be free again.
