 Another nurse recalled that these were said to be vitamin injections, and it was also clear that the amounts of opiated injected were constant until September 1950, when another doctor first increased the dosage.Although Dr Douthwaite, a medical expert witness for the prosecution, claimed that addiction from such doses must have been inevitable, there was no evidence that Mrs Morrell had developed a craving for or addiction to the drugs prescribed.Dr Douthwaite had been a member of the prosecution team since December 1957 when, together with the pathologist Dr Francis Camps, he had assured the Attorney General, Melford Stevenson and the Director of Public Prosecutions that the amounts of opiates prescribed for Mrs Morrell would have been fatal beyond doubt had they been injected, and he also gave evidence to this effect in the Committal hearing.
