The defenders of the nurse, who has always proclaimed herself innocent, had asked for absolution

The defenders of the nurse, who has always proclaimed herself innocent, had asked for absolution. Bonino’s was a troubled judicial affair. In the first instance, the gup of the court of Livorno Marco Saquegna, the April 19, 2019, sentenced her to life imprisonment, recognizing her guilt only for four of the ten suspicious deaths, as in those cases her presence in the ward would have been ascertained.
The nurse of the Villamarina hospital in Piombino came then entered in the register of suspects in December 2015 and was arrested on March 30, 2016 on suspicion of killing a number of patients during their stay in the anesthesia and resuscitation ward.
The April 20, 2016, the Florence Review Court annulled the order of custody in prison and Fausta Bonino was released. The woman, according to the indictment, planned and caused the deaths of ten people through the “deliberate and off-the-shelf” use of heparin in doses that “cause death” from sudden bleeding.
In December 2017 the report of the experts was filed which certified that ten of the suspicious deaths that occurred in the hospital of Piombino in the period under examination were compatible with the administration of heparin. Today the court of assizes of appeal of Florence has established his acquittal.
“I think that justice has been done after years spent in the blender by my client. The first instance sentence did not objectively hold”, said the lawyer Vinicio Nardo, lawyer of Fausta Bonino. “The first instance sentence – he added Nardo – gave for certain a series of facts, such as the type of substance used, the method of administration and the presence in the ward which, on the other hand, were far from certain “.
