LITTLETON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - A Vermont nursing assistant was charged with second-degree murder on Tuesday after allegedly injecting a healthy non-diabetic patient with insulin, sending the elderly woman into a coma, and using her credit card before she died 10 days later.

Jodi LaClaire, 37, a licensed nursing assistant, was accused in the 2009 death of Nita Lowery, 83, a resident under her care at the Thompson House nursing home in Brattleboro, Vermont, the Vermont attorney general's office said in a statement.
