Baldi was charged with seven counts of involuntary manslaughter in the death of his patients.

The jury found Baldi not guilty on all counts.

The jury deliberated all day on Wednesday and 9 a.m. to about 3:45 p.m today to reach its decision.

He said he is not sure if he will continue practicing medicine.Baldi’s attorney, Guy Cook, said hundreds of Baldi’s former patients wanted to testify on his behalf, but Cook said he didn’t need their testimony because of the state’s failure of proof in the case.  Cook said every time the prosecution brought up another patient, the defense countered with the patient didn’t have drugs in their system when they died or Baldi hadn’t seen them in months or even years or were under another doctor’s care when they died.

DELIBERATIONS WEDNESDAY:

KCCI’s Mark Tauscheck reported that after 90 minutes of deliberating the jury had a question for the court. They asked, “Do we have full medical records for all seven patients? Is the prosecutions medical records selective records or the complete medical records during Dr. Baldi’s treatment?”

The answer is they are not complete records and are just selected records. The jury was officially told “You have the records that were offered and admitted into evidence for the seven patients.”
