Baldi, acquitted on all charges, wants to return to work

From the article:
Prosecutors contended that Baldi caused the deaths by recklessly prescribing powerful medications, including to patients who clearly were addicted. But defense lawyer Guy Cook pressed his contention that tests done after each death showed that none of the patients had high levels of Baldi-prescribed drugs in their systems. Experts for the defense also testified that three of the patients probably died of heart problems, and that another apparently committed suicide.
Some of the prosecution witnesses seemed to bolster the defense. For example, Des Moines psychiatrist Shehzad Kamran testified early in the trial that he, not Baldi, had prescribed the type of sttimulant and anti-anxiety medications that patient Brandy Stoutenberg overdosed on.
And will anyone in the County Attorney’s office.. that pursued these false charges.. suffer any consequences ?.. Probably not.. justice is blind.. after all ..
