LOS ANGELES — Attorneys for the nurse accused of causing the Windsor Hills crash that killed five denied Monday that their client has an extensive history of car accidents.
"It's been reported extensively and it's not true," said Halim Dhanidina, who represents Nicole Lorraine Linton, a travel nurse who was working at Kaiser Permanente's West Los Angeles Medical Center before the Aug. 4 crash.
"Our initial investigation has demonstrated that that allegation that's been bandied about in the media is patently false," Dhanidina said about Los Angeles County prosecutors' claim that Linton was involved in 13 other crashes before the Windsor Hills one.
