At the height of the pandemic, a Long Island teacher inoculated her son's friend with the COVID vaccine without his parent's permission. The teacher was arrested and faced jail time. McLoganTV shows us what happened Friday in court.
Biology teacher Laura Parker Russo, who injected a 17-year-old friend of her son with a purported Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine last New Year's Eve, left court without comment after moving to resolve her felony case by pleading guilty to lesser charges.
The judge threw out the initial agreement and tacked on 100 hours of community service and therapy twice a week for a year when Russo pled guilty to attempted unauthorized practice of medicine and disorderly conduct in order to receive a conditional discharge and no prison time. It was a year ago that, while at a Sea Cliff pharmacy for a shot, Russo allegedly asked for a vaccine vial to be used as a Christmas tree ornament. There was solution left in the vial.McCloskey added Russo was fired from her job.
"Because of all of this, he lost a lot of his friends. He just want to be done with it and wants to jsut move on," Doyle said.
