 This former Texas nurse who is currently serving time right now, was  on Wednesday indicted  for killing a toddler and sickening another boy,it was said to be her second murder charge in recent weeks.
Genene Jones, 66, whom prosecutors suspect of killing up to 60 young children, was charged in the September 1981 death of 2-year-old Rosemary Vega.

She was charged with a separate count of murder in May for killing an 11-month-old boy.
Jones was charged in the September 1981 death of 2-year-old Rosemary Vega.

(Jones was charged in the September 1981 death of 2-year-old Rosemary Vega.)

Jones is already serving concurrent 99-year and 60-year sentences in state prison for the 1982 killing of a toddler and the sickening of a 4-week-old boy who survived a blood thinner injection.
She was scheduled to be released in March under a Texas law that shortens prison terms for well-behaved inmates.
Jones has been dubbed “the Angel of Death” for the mysterious pattern of child fatalities that coincided with her tenure at various facilities, including the San Antonio hospital and elsewhere in Texas.
Children died of unexplained seizures and other complications under Jones’ watch. The deaths sometimes occurred shortly after her shifts had ended.
Medical records that could have pointed to Jones as a culprit were accidentally destroyed, Sam Millsap, a former Bexar County district attorney, told KSAT-TV.
