The jury in the trial of a doctor accused of giving a patient a fatal injection of adrenalin has retired to consider its verdict.

Patricia Leighton, 51, had been taken into Staffordshire District General Hospital suffering from septic shock. She died there in July 1998.

Dr Priya Ramnath, 40, denies manslaughter by gross negligence.

Birmingham Crown Court heard Mrs Leighton had been admitted to hospital after a foot wound became infected.
