Killer Nurse Becomes Kidney Donor

From CBS News:
A New Jersey judge is allowing the state's worst serial killer to donate a kidney, as long as he and his doctors meet certain conditions.

The order leaves unresolved when Charles Cullen might undergo an operation to remove one of his kidneys. The kidney would go to the relative of a friend...

A judge in Pennsylvania added a 12th life prison sentence against the former nurse who killed at least 29 patients in two states.
