She attributes her criminal involvement to random elements, which led to the decision for her temporary detention, 33-year-old Roula Pispirigou, who in her apologetic memorandum describes as "grossly unjust, unprecedented, unrealistic and unrealistic" the accusation attributed to her for the murder of her daughter Georgina.
In her ten-page pleading, the defendant attempts to shift the burden of responsibility for her child's death to the hospital doctors, denying that she had anything to do with the administration of ketamine.

What she claimed in a 10-page memo
"I declare to you that there is not a single opportunity for me to 'miss' the slightest chance to proclaim my innocence of the grossly unjust, unjust, unprecedented, unrealistic and unjustifiable accusation that you are making against me. For this reason I will appear in person whenever I am summoned until I am finally vindicated and exonerated of the gross injustice that has been done to me, and I expressly declare that I reserve all my legal rights to all those who have made me an accused person in the eyes of the whole of society, apparently to cover up their own responsibilities for the loss of my daughter's life," says the accused, who is expected to be taken to the women's wing of Korydallos prison early in the morning.
Roula Pispirigou denies the charge claiming that "I never sought, desired or caused the death of my child. No mother can harm her own child. Georgina was my first child and was my great weakness. Her death, which followed the tragic incidents that had taken place against the two other children who had earlier lost their lives from other causes, came as a final blow to me, and was also the final blow to my family, whose unity began to waver after the above tragic events, to the point that today it has almost definitively disintegrated'.
"Random elements"
The accused refers to "random elements" on which - as she says - the accusation is based, while noting that as Georgina's mother, she ought to have been the child's session at the hospital. In response to the allegations in the indictment that little Georgina had always suffered all the episodes outside the ICU, the 33-year-old allegedly replies that this was because the time spent in the ICU of each hospital was comparatively minimal compared to the time spent in the ward of each paediatric clinic.
Denying that it was she who administered the lethal substance to her child, the defendant maintains 'that this substance is not available in pharmacies and is distributed exclusively by the competent state bodies in a strictly limited context, only in 2 uses, one of which is paediatric surgery. So it is obvious that in this particular paediatric hospital the substance in question exists and was present at the date of my child's death'.
It is noted that he is alleged to have submitted a double request as to whether in the last three years the ICU of the hospital has obtained the substance ketamine and secondly whether a record is kept of the persons receiving a quantity of the substance in question and in case of a positive response, whether in the period 27-29/1/2022 a quantity of the substance has been obtained from the hospital pharmacy.
What she answered about ketamine
She points out that "according to the doctors' statements, the effect time of ketamine drug substance is from 1 to 20 minutes, depending on the method of administration. Always on the basis of the same statements, I was asked to leave the room in which attempts were being made to resuscitate my child, immediately upon the arrival of the doctors in the ICU, which is referred to a time of 3 minutes from the time I informed the nurse. The above-mentioned doctors put the time of my child's death at 14.30, so they put the critical 20 minutes at the time between 14.10 and 14.30, i.e. at a time when I was next to my child.
However, as she claims, the cardiograms sent to her via text message by the pediatric cardiologist at 15:10 mechanically recorded the fact that Georgina was still alive because it appears that the defibrillator was working with its pacemaker function with an electrical response of the child's heart.
"So the critical twenty minutes, within which it is alleged that this substance is needed to cause death, then its administration has taken place at about 14:50, that is at the time when I have been asked to leave the room, within which only doctors and nurses remained."
Indeed, as she says in her memo, "in these circumstances it is highly probable that this substance was administered to Georgina by medical error, under the pressure of the situation that had arisen, because otherwise it is impossible for me to think what could have happened and I cannot give any other version".
She burst into tears when she heard the verdict
Roula Pispirigou, accused of the ketamine murder of her 9-year-old daughter Georgina, took the road to prison after her plea to the 18th regular interrogator today.
The decision of the interrogator and the prosecutor was accompanied by a "why?" from the side of the accused herself. As her lawyer, Konstantinos Zardas, said, she addressed the interrogator directly and asked her: "Why? Why? You have seen from the evidence that I am innocent."
The other of her lawyers, Othon Papadopoulos, claimed that his client burst into tears and expressed deep concern about the conditions of her detention and her safety.
According to him, Roula Pispirigou said she was surprised as she was expecting to be released on parole.
