Comments on: A primer on Michael Fontana, a nurse accused of killing three patients http://www.johntedesco.net/blog/2009/03/23/a-primer-on-michael-fontana-a-nurse-accused-of-killing-three-patients/ Investigative Reporter for the San Antonio Express-News Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Your Namehttp://www.johntedesco.net/blog/2009/03/23/a-primer-on-michael-fontana-a-nurse-accused-of-killing-three-patients/#comment-196 Your Name Thu, 20 Oct 2011 21:44:00 +0000 http://johntedesco.net/blog/?p=868#comment-196 Thanks for your response John! You and Scott did an amazing job covering the story when the accusations were fresh, but kinda weak on the outcome of NOT GUILTY.  The testimony was enlightening from lying (incompetent) nurses and (falsifying documents) doctors on the stand to the powerful testimony from a palliative care physician who agreed with the dignified death all the patients received.  Thanks again.

The stories said he was considered a good paramedic in Austin who worked hard to save lives, and his colleagues there were surprised by the charges. Our <a href="http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/Wilford_Hall_nurse_charged_with_murder.html" rel="nofollow">very first story</a> quoted the Air Force saying he was an "exemplary nurse." If the media were out to get him, would you be reading that information? James, where are you seeing bias against Fontana?

Maybe go buy some rope.... You so-called journalists are so completely biased, it's a wonder anyone gets a fair trial in this country. I realize justice doesn't really get news, though...and that's why 'lamestream' media is disappearing from this country. Good riddance.I know one of the defense attorneys very well. You guys are so far from the truth, you wouldn't know it if it hit you in the face. Pay attention to the testimony of the other doctors and nurses on duty, Columbo...!
