without his consent and without doctor's orders pleaded not guilty Thursday.

According to the complaint, the man was admitted to Spring Valley Health and Rehab Center, where Brown worked at the time, after he fell at his home in March. The heat in his home wasn't turned on, and he suffered frostbite to both feet, leaving the tissue necrotic. His right foot remained attached to his leg by a tendon and roughly 2 inches of skin.
Brown cut the man's foot off on May 27 because, she told investigators, she wanted to ease his suffering and give him some"dignity," the complaint said.
