Linton was frustrated with her job as a traveling nurse and left Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center that afternoon intending to quit, and “channeled that frustration” into her driving, Vannoy said.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor told jurors that a neurologist retained by the defense is expected to testify that Linton had suffered a seizure, but said she had “never been diagnosed with a seizure disorder before” and that there was evidence that she was “faking a seizure” during subsequent testing after the crash.<\/p>\n
Defense attorney Jovan Blacknell acknowledged that the crash was “tragic,” but said that Linton being charged with the most serious crime of murder “is also a tragedy.”<\/p>\n
He told jurors that she was not drunk, under the influence of drugs, on the phone at the time, rushing to get somewhere or racing, but was instead suffering from a “medical emergency” at the time of the “catastrophic car collision.”<\/p>\n
Linton’s lawyer said she suffered a seizure at “probably the most inopportune time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Linton was frustrated with her job as a traveling nurse and left Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":457618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-457617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/457618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
