Nicole Linton murder trial

Overview

The murder trial of Nicole Linton, a nurse accused of causing a fatal high-speed collision in Windsor Hills, Los Angeles, has commenced. Prosecutors allege that in August 2022, Linton was driving her Mercedes-Benz at speeds between 130 and 131 mph when she ran a red light, resulting in a nine-car pileup and a fireball near a gas station. The crash killed six people, including Asherey Ryan, her boyfriend Reynold Lester, their 11-month-old son Alonzo Quintero, Ryan’s unborn child Armani, Nathesia Lewis, and Lynette Noble.

During court proceedings, testimony indicated that Linton made five video calls while driving moments before the impact. Her sister, Kimberly Linton, testified that Nicole was speaking “gibberish” and making bizarre claims prior to the incident.

Linton has pleaded not guilty to six counts of murder. Her defense maintains she was experiencing a medical emergency, specifically a seizure, during the crash. However, prosecutors have stated that medical testimony shows no evidence of a neurological episode occurring prior to the collision.
