David Kwiatkowski, who has been jailed since his arrest in July 2012, is accused of stealing painkiller syringes from Exeter Hospital's cardiac catheterization lab in New Hampshire and replacing them with blood-tainted saline. He told investigators he had been stealing drugs for more than a decade and was "killing a lot of people," according to the plea agreement filed Monday. That is just evil to knowingly infect other people with your tainted blood. Wish he could of got more prison time.
