Murders carried out, according to the indictment, with overdose drugs administered in rapid succession.
The Milan Court of Assizes of Appeal also confirmed the daytime isolation for three years against the former primary and declared that four doctors of the hospital commission, called to evaluate the work, should not proceed by prescription of Cazzaniga and who in the first instance had been sentenced to 2 years and six months for aiding and abetting.
In acquitting Cazzaniga for the deaths of three patients, the Court revoked the civil rulings against their family members.
