This is a quick editorial that I really have to get off my chest.

0:23.5

I'm not doing it live because I don't want to be distracted by comments. I just want to give you

0:27.2

my thoughts on this case of the Vanderbilt nurse who we've talked about before. Her name is Redonda

0:33.5

Vaught and the name was just released because she was arrested for reckless homicide and

0:42.0

abusive and impaired adult. Here was the story and we did a show about this a while back and then
