I was in nursing school over there during this time. There was cover-up and scandal involved. No murder charges in San Antonio, but murder charges in Kerrville. It will be difficult to revive an old case. This case isn't "cold". Charges just were not brought at the time.

Every unit has a nurse who wants to take on the sickest kids and make a hero of themselves.
It is an ego thing.
Genene took it to a new level by making them sicker.
