Their not thinking of letting her out are they? She needs to stay where she is. She's not even had enough time in jail to get her mental health issues under control. I hope nothing happens except bail being denied!
Yup, it would be pretty difficult to reach 130 MPH while unconscious.Los Angeles County DA George Gascon opposes bail for Texas nurse charged with killing six in fiery crash
Los Angeles County prosecutors are urging a judge to reject bail request for a woman accused of killing six people during a crash she claims to have lost consciousness before.www.foxnews.com
"Los Angeles prosecutors, on Friday submitted a motion opposing bail for a woman accused of killing six people in a fiery wreck last month, arguing against defense claims that she lost consciousness before the crash.
Agreed! I have been pretty vocal on this thread that I believe she may have legit, real mental health issues…..but I do NOT for one single second believe she had a “lapse of consciousness” and I also do NOT believe she should be roaming free in this world!! Empathy does not equal lesser punishment, IMO!

A defense motion filed last month said Linton’s family first became aware of her mental health issues in May 2018. A letter from Linton’s sister, Camille Linton, said that Nicole experienced her first mental breakdown while studying to become a nursing anesthetist at the University of Texas in Houston.
"The stress was too much for her and it ‘broke’ her," Camille Linton wrote. "Thus beginning the journey of Nicole’s 4-year struggle with mental illness."
At the time of the crash, Nicole Linton had been working for West Los Angeles Medical Center. She had expressed to her sister that her co-workers were "acting weird" toward her.
Authorities are requesting Linton be held without bail and receive any needed medical attention in jail.

For sure it’s disappointing and shouldn’t have happened. I’m just saying that I’ve been an RN for over 20 years in different hospitals and have seen some wild behaviour.
Well, I don’t know much about nursing these days, but if you left the hospital for longer than your lunch period in “days of yore” it was most definitely called patient abandonment and you could lose your license as well as your job.
My mom has bipolar disorder, but thankfully she’s always been diligent about taking her medication. She’s only had a handful of major episodes, but they all came after an unrelated illness introduced a new medication and threw them all out of wack. There was one instance when she wouldn’t take her medicine, but that’s because she was in the midst of a full blown manic episode and was being antagonistic about everything. There are some antipsychotic medications that the hospital can administer via injection and they last for several weeks. It was a godsend for us in that situation because the injection lasted long enough to bring her down and make her realize she needed to take her medication.
She hadn't slept in 4 days... I hadn't heard that bit of info.The available medical records paint a picture of violent and aggressive behavior during past mental health episodes, and show that as early as May 2019, Linton “admitted that she refused to take her prescribed medications,” the prosecutors alleged.
Linton’s statements to officers after the crash contradict her claim that she could not remember the events that led up to it, prosecutors alleged.
"[Linton’s] insight into the circumstances of the crash is incredibly accurate and consistent with the evidence of her driving conduct,” according to the filing.
Prosecutors said she shared that she’d been stressed by work and by problems with one of her sisters, and that she hadn’t slept for four days before the crash.
“Defendant opined that the cause of her collision was her fatigue,” according to the filing. “In jail calls with her sister … days after, [Linton] acknowledged that she should not have gone to work on the day of the crash, stating, ‘five people are dead because of me.’”
