Is he innocent?

Thus proclaimed the Filipino nurse convicted in the United Kingdom of murdering two patients and causing serious harm to 20 others at a Greater Manchester hospital. The convict, Victorino Chua, is appealing his 35-year prison sentence, according to his lawyer Jeremy Moore.

“While I respect the jury’s integrity and good faith, (the verdicts) are not in accordance with the truth of the matter,” said Chua, married with two children. “I am completely innocent of any wrong-doing.”

Chua was found guilty of injecting insulin in intravenous fluid bags and medicine ampoules which were unwittingly used by his fellow nurses on patients who did not need insulin doses. His counsel based the appeal on the ground that the  trial judge allegedly made incorrect rulings. -end-
