Dr. Brian Nadler expected to be acquitted of murder, criminal negligence charges

Dr. Brian Nadler, who formerly practised at a hospital in Hawkesbury, Ont., and was facing eight charges in connection to the deaths of four patients, will likely be acquitted on all counts on Tuesday, according to both Crown and defence counsel.Dr. Brian Nadler was accused of first-degree murder involving one patient in March 2021, then was charged with three more counts involving three other patients in August 2022.

"The Crown has concluded that the effect of this court's evidentiary rulings is to exclude evidence sufficiently important to the prosecution that the Crown is unable to continue," prosecutor Robin Flumerfelt wrote in an email.In order to be able to appeal the pre-trial rulings, the Crown will ask for Nadler to be arraigned, Flumerfelt wrote, "after which we will call no evidence and ask for directed verdicts of acquittal on all counts.

Court documents allege Poidinger was killed on March 25, 2021, and the three others died "on or about" that date. The documents say Briere, Lalande and Lungulescu also died in Hawkesbury, Ont.
