Former Northern Missouri Respiratory Therapist Appears in Court on Second 1st Degree Murder Charge

(MISSOURINET) – A former respiratory therapist who worked at a northern Missouri hospital is accused of first-degree murder – twenty years after nine suspicious deaths.

The first court appearance for 42-year-old Jennifer Ann Hall was held Wednesday morning on a second 1st Degree Murder charge of a patient at a Chillicothe Hospital in 2002.

Hall was a respiratory therapist at the hospital when 37-year-old David Wesley Harper died.

Hall entered a plea of not guilty.

She remains in custody in Clinton County, where the trial for the first charge of alleged 1st Degree Murder is scheduled for May.
