Jury finds Wal-Mart worker poisoned boss
January 7, 2005

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A Miami woman was found guilty Wednesday of poisoning her boss by putting rat poison into his soda can.

Femesha Foster, 37, was caught on a hidden camera dropping the toxic mix into Mark Caruso's drink in 2000. The pair were co-workers at a Wal-Mart store in Pembroke Pines.

She said was only trying to force Caruso to go home sick, that she had recently discovered that he knew she had written checks from his account.

Caruso was taken to an emergency room, where he was treated and released.

Foster's sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 20. She faces up to 30 years in prison on the jury conviction.

In May, a state appeals court overturned Foster's previous conviction because she was charged with "attempted poisoning," which was not a specific crime under Florida law.

2. Another thing...DUH! This broad apparently needs a warning for both her toilet brush and her digital thermometer. POISON KILLS. They teach you that in preschool. Repeat after me...POISON KILLS!

3. Does K-Mart have trouble like this with THEIR employees?

And now, as thousands of HR personnel shake their heads in unison, I remain
