Reta Mays, a former US nursing assistant pleaded guilty to intentionally killing seven patients with fatal doses of insulin.
A former US nursing assistant who killed seven elderly veterans with fatal injections of insulin at a West Virginia hospital was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday by a US judge who called her "the monster that no one sees coming.”
Reta Mays has a history of mental health issues, and offered no explanation for why she killed the men. But US District Judge Thomas Kleeh told her “you knew what you were doing” before sentencing her to seven consecutive life terms, a punishment that means she'll likely die in prison.
