The Brooklyn EMT who callously refused to help a dying pregnant woman because she was on her coffee break saw her official misconduct charge dropped today after EMS chief Abdo Nahmod — who initially supported the case against her — flip-flopped, leaving frustrated Brooklyn prosecutors no choice but to dismiss the case.

* HUH...??? WHY IS NAHMOD'S SUPPORT NECESSARY FOR THE DA TO DO HIS JOB...?

Melisa Jackson, 27, was in uniform and on-duty when she snuck away from her dispatcher job at FDNY headquarters in downtown Brooklyn in December 2009 to meet her EMT boyfriend in a nearby Au Bon Pain. But when pregnant Eutisha Rennix, 25, had a serious asthma attack, Jackson wouldn’t even walk into the back room to look at her.

Both Rennix and her unborn baby died.

“Had the defendant just walked into the rear room, she would have seen that this was not just a person who needed transport to a hospital. Ms. Rennix needed immediate medical assistance,” assistant district attorney Kevin Richardson said in court this morning.

* SO WHY ISN'T RICHARDSON PURSUING THE CASE...?

Nahmod signed an affidavit in 2010 supporting the criminal complaint against Jackson. His affidavit said Jackson had violated a departmental rule — the “flag-down rule” — requiring that an on-duty EMT treat a defendant and notify dispatch if they are flagged down for help.

* SOUNDS CUT AND DRY TO ME...

But on Wednesday, Nahmod called Richardson and said the flag-down rule doesn’t apply in this case because Jackson wasn’t assigned to an ambulance or special event where they are expected to provide aid.

* BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT ON THE FACE OF IT. THIS NAHMOD SHOULD BE FIRED. JACKSON SHOULD BE TRIED AND CONVICTED.

“Based on the reversal of position of Chief Nahmod, there is absolutely no possible way to sustain a criminal charge against Ms. Jackson,” Richardson said in court.

* RICHARDSON SHOULD BE FIRED.

Outside court Jackson refused to apologize to the Rennix family or accept any responsibility — and said she would do the same thing again.

* THIS IS THE SORT OF PIECE OF SHIT WHO IS EMPLOYED AS AN EMT? SCARY SHIT...
