Nurse Pleads Not Guilty In Overdose Death
We discussed Angela Almore and her role in an overdose death at Britthaven, a North Carolina Nursing home, in previous blogs.
Almore was indicted on six counts of patient abuse for reportedly giving residents morphine who were not prescribed the drug, causing one resident to die. In that case, she has been indicted for second degree murder. The State has alleged that Almore gave the drug to the residents to keep them sedated. Almore was observed passing out small cups to the residents and telling them it was vitamins.
Almore remains free on bond pending her September 12 trial date. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
