Former respiratory therapist charged with first-degree murder of patient

A former hospital staffer suspected of killing nine patients nearly two decades ago has been arrested after being charged in one of their deaths – while wearing a hoodie bearing the message ‘I don’t f*****g care.’

Cops had been searching for Jennifer Anne Hall, 41, since last week, after charging the ex-respiratory therapist with first-degree murder for the 2002 death of 75-year-old Fern Franco – one of nine people who died of cardiac collapse between December 16, 2001, and May 16, 2002, at Hedrick Medical Center in Missouri.

Hall, who worked at the 49-bed hospital during that same span, quickly came under suspicion for the slew of  ‘code blue’ incidents – which were viewed by doctors and nurses at the hospital as ‘medically suspicious,’ an arrest affidavit shows.
