Maniac who killed five in horrific LA crash is a bi-polar ICU traveling nurse

Apparently, traveling nurses companies don't vet their contractors which is very scary.


According to court documents obtained by NBC Los Angeles, prosecutors with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office filed a motion opposing bail reduction and release for Nicole Linton, a 37-year-old nurse from Houston currently held on $9 million bail for her alleged engineering of a fiery high-speed car wreck that killed five people, including a pregnant woman, and caused eight injuries at an intersection in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Windsor Hills on August 4. Linton has been charged with the murder of six people, including the unborn fetus.

August court documents filed by Linton's attorneys Halim Dhanidina and Jacqueline Sparagnafor detailed their client's history of mental illness and struggles with bipolar disorder. In May 2018 Linton was cited for disorderly conduct after jumping into a police squad car while suffering an acute panic attack. She was later committed to a psychiatric unit where she was prescribed medication to combat her bipolar disorder. Linton's attorneys maintain that she began refusing to take her medication after the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing her mental health to gradually worsen in recent years. On the day of the accident Linton allegedly appeared naked during a FaceTime call with members of her family while on a lunch break from her work at the hospital, her attorneys claimed.
