A jury has reached verdicts in the trial of a nurse accused of speeding through a red light and killing six people in a crash at a Windsor Hills intersection.

Nicole Lorraine Linton, 41, faces six counts of murder in the deadly August 2022 crash at La Brea and Slauson avenues. Surveillance camera video from that afternoon showed a Mercedes-Benz sedan run the red light and slam into another car in a fiery multi-vehicle crash.

The verdict is expected to be read around 1:30 p.m. Deliberations began Friday morning.

Prosecutors said the Mercedes-Benz was traveling more than 100 mph in the 35 mph zone as it struck the rear quarter of an SUV, triggering the fiery chain-reaction crash. Several people were ejected from vehicles.

Linton, a nurse from Houston, was hospitalized with moderate injuries.

The dead included a 23-year-old pregnant woman, Asherey Ryan, her 11-month-old son Alonzo Quintero, fiancé Reynold Lester and her unborn baby, whom the couple planned to name Armani Lester. They were on the way to a prenatal medical appointment.

Also killed in the crash were Nathesia Lewis, 43, and her friend, 38-year-old Lynette Noble, who were in another car.

Eight people were injured.

During closing arguments, prosecutors argued the tragic chain of events was  entirely preventable.  Deputy District Attorney Antonella Nistorescu played video of the deadly crash and told jurors that Linton  chose to do this. 

Prosecutors portrayed the traveling nurse as a disgruntled employee whose rage led to the crash. They claimed she hated her job and co-workers, then channeled that fury into road rage.

 She did it knowingly and, most importantly, she was conscious,  Nistorescu said.  She was conscious that entire time. 

Defense attorneys contend Linton suffered a seizure that left her unable to stop the car. Attorney Jovan Blacknell, told jurors in his closing argument that the crash was catastrophic and the lost of life was  horrendous,  but said Linton was not enraged.
