German nurse tried for killing two patients for quietly drinking

A German court on Monday will rule against a nurse in Germany accused of killing two of his patients because he did not want to disturb while drunk at work.
In previous hearings before the Munich First Regional Court, the accused confessed to the crimes, claiming that he had no intention of causing anyone's death.
In his defence, he said he always drank a lot of alcohol before his shifts and slept at work. So he anesthetized patients with excessive doses of drugs so as not to cause discomfort to him.
"I made a big mistake," the defendant said at the start of the trial in January.
According to the indictment, the man injected patients with sedatives, adrenaline or blood thinners in the resuscitation ward, an intermediate care ward between the intensive care unit and the regular ward.
Two patients, aged 80 and 89, died in 2020 at the Munich hospital where he worked. Prosecutors also charged him with six counts of attempted murder.
According to the DPA news agency, the prosecution is demanding life imprisonment and subsequent preventive detention of the accused, in addition to proving the gravity of the crime in particular.
A person sentenced to life imprisonment in Germany can often request parole after serving 15 years, but the additional sentence by the court will make that impossible.
The defence demands that the accused be placed in a rehabilitation clinic.
