TERRI RACHELS

24-year-old Albany nurse Terri Rachels, was arrested and charged with six counts of murder and twenty counts of aggravated assault on patients at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in 1986. At her trial the prosecution contended that in the six years that Rachels had worked at the hospital, she had attempted to kill patients by injecting a heart stopping drug (potassium chloride) into their life support systems. Even with strong evidence against Rachels, they jury found Rachels not guilty on all except one count of aggravated assault. On that one count the jury found her guilty but mentally ill. They sentenced her to seventeen years in prison for injecting a potentially fatal dose of the heart stopping drug into plasma given to an 89-year-old man.
