Why EXACTLY were two nurses (Cheri Landry and Lori Budo) prepared to testify if they had done nothing wrong?
What were Cheryl and Lori prepared to testify to, if you know? Were these the nurses that hospital administration told to draw up the vials of lethal injections and ask around for a doctor willing to administer them, but they refused because they did not believe in euthanasia (their wording, IIRC)?
You also assume. Why wouldn’t they testify if they felt that the doctor did nothing wrong? Or simply to tell what they observed, right or wrong? Knowing what happened, they would, I would think, be duty-bound to testify to the facts. Once the grand jury had the facts, then they would be duty bound to act on them. Looks to me like they think they did, or wouldn't they have had the doctor charged?
The nurses did testify. They did so because they were the ones with Dr. Pou at the last.
I know and trust doctors who know and trust Dr. Pou. Their word, along with the parts of the story that I’ve read elsewhere lead me to believe Dr. Pou’s version. She says that she did not intend to kill the patients, only to relieve symptoms in patients who could not be moved through the hole in the wall to the helicopter or into boats, when they could no longer be treated.
