Attorney General Michelle Henry announced dozens of new charges against a western Pennsylvania nurse, who was previously charged with homicide and attempted murder for patients in her care. The nurse allegedly administered lethal doses of insulin to numerous patients at care facilities, beginning in 2020. Heather Pressdee, 41, was previously charged in May for her mistreatment of three patients. Today, the Office of Attorney General filed charges regarding mistreatment of 19 additional patients at five different care facilities between 2020 and this year. Pressdee is accused of administering excessive amounts of insulin to these patients, some of whom were diabetic and required insulin, and some of whom were not. In total, seventeen patients died who had been cared for by Pressdee. Today, Pressdee was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, 17 counts of attempted murder, and 19 counts of neglect of a care-dependent person.
