Nurse Suspected of Killing Up to 46 Kids Set to Leave Prison

A nurse convicted in 1984 of killing an infant and suspected of murdering dozens more will be released from prison without completing her 99 year sentence because of an expired Texas law that grants a "mandatory release" to inmates with good behavior.

On May 14, 1984 Genene Anne Jones, now 63, was sentenced for the murder of 15-month-old Chelsea McClellan in 1982 in a small-town pediatric clinic where Jones was a nurse.

"I was holding Chelsea, she was facing me, and Jones gave her the first shot in her left thigh. Immediately Chelsea had trouble breathing. Chelsea was trying to say my name, but she couldn't. I was extremely upset," Petti McClellan, the victim's mother, told ABC News.

Jones began injecting the child with a lethal dose of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine while the baby was still in her mother's arms, according to McClellan and court records.

1. I have a better idea. How about releasing some pot dealers instead?

2. Wow.

This is sad.

3. Had this "woman" gotten the death penalty

This danger would NOT be free to roam the streets. Who knows, she'll probably be a nurse again. She has rights too.

Sarcasm ONLY for She has rights too.

Someone has till Feb 24th 2018 to make a change in this outcome. Not saying someone should kill her.... I'm just saying something should happen in order for her to misbehave and postpone her release. Yeah that's the ticket. She's ONLY a baby killer.

8. Yup. They behave good when someone who can punish them is nearby. The woman's a psychopath.

Shame on Texas for allowing her, rapists and murderers loose to prey on the population again.

4. What "good behavior" today offsets the "bad behavior" of yesteryear? . . .

Nice that she gave no trouble to the adults who held her fate in their hands. Would that she had done the same for those whom she held in her arms in earlier days.

5. Why peeling pototoes

Shining boots, cleaning the toilet, mopping the floors, marching in form. Never yelling at the guards, eating ALL of her veggies, making her bed without being told. Someone needs to rattle the hive. Part of her release should require her to have a tattoo that says "Baby Killer" across her forehead.

6. She should stay in prison. She has no conscience.

I saw a Lifetime movie about her years ago. The female pediatrician, for whom the nurse worked, played by Veronica Hamel, was the prime suspect. The investigation dragged on for years, the pediatrician lost her practice, her good reputation, & her husband divorced her. It wasn't until the nurse had to move on that she was caught.

7. Seriously!

Someone like this is dangerous and should NEVER be released. Any so called "good behavior" she did while in prison should be completely factored out based on the crimes she committed. If she will kill a stranger's innocent baby what else is she capable of? How about releasing some pot dealers instead of baby killers....

9. This is the problem with conservative "binary thinking"

They tend to prefer everything to be neat and tidy, all white or all black. All good or all evil. No shades of gray (no not those shades, but they disapprove of those too). "Mandatory" sentences and releases, zero tolerance, mean you never have to think, you are never responsible for making a judgement, you can always just blame it on the policy.

10. After Dexter Morgan gets through with Zimmerman, perhaps he should head over to Texas. nt

11. You know, the hospitals helped cover up her murders--too much liability. But the nurses who worked

with her knew, and tried to report it and stop it.
