The court in Nykøbing found it proven that Hansen had given her sick and weak patients lethal doses of morphine and diazepam.
[4] The reason for the change was, in particular, a forensic and evidence-specific detail: although it was found that Hansen's medical abuse on patients did not occur "in treatment or pain relievers by mistake",[3] the technical evidence was not strong enough to confirm the verdict.
The Legal Service Council reviewed the medical information and concluded that it was not possible to be fully sure that the morphine and diazepam injections were the direct causes of death.
In addition to these charges, Hansen was found guilty of giving her own 7-year-old daughter strong prescription sleeping medicine that is dangerous for children and only suitable for adults.
[7] Prosecutor Michael Boelsen stated to the court that "the defendant has arranged herself as the main role character in a bizarre play where the patients are her extras."
