Closing arguments expected this week in Ontario nurse’s manslaughter trial
BARRIE, Ont. — Closing arguments are expected to begin Wednesday in the manslaughter trial of an Ontario nurse who took a woman off life support without a doctor’s order, with jurors set to begin their deliberations next week.
A scheduled hearing in the trial of Joanna Flynn was postponed Tuesday for undisclosed reasons.
Flynn, whose lawyers are expected to make their closing statements first, is also charged with criminal negligence causing death in connection with the events of March 2, 2014.
Flynn was working in the intensive care unit of Georgian Bay General Hospital in Midland, Ont., that night and acted as Deanna Leblanc’s primary care nurse.
