Earlier we brought you up to speed on the blowback from charges of murder against New Orleans Memorial Medical Center personnel (see our first post here, and our original follow up here).  While the political landscape has changed significantly in Louisiana, including potential candidates – the facts of this story have not – and are now further solidifying – in a way that can’t make the incumbent AG either happy or comfortable. 

Check out today’s update from the Times Picayune – a preview is below.

In a development that appears to undermine the case against Dr. Anna Maria Pou and two nurses at Memorial Medical Center, who have been accused of murdering four elderly patients in the harrowing days after Hurricane Katrina, Orleans Parish Coroner Frank Minyard said the physical evidence does not support a finding of homicide.

Instead, Minyard has classified each of the deaths as “undetermined,” which means he cannot — at this point — conclude whether the four critically ill patients died by accident or from natural causes, suicide or homicide.

Minyard said he reached that conclusion after reviewing the evidence and consulting with some of the top forensic experts in the country.

To jog your memory Foti said that these medical professionals “played God” with their patients lives.

If there is a trial – wonder if it will be in the Fall of '07?
