Finally. These callous pigs should rot in jail. I don't hold out any hope that they will get what they deserve.
The Georgia nursing home employees seen on video laughing and ignoring the pleas of a dying World War II veteran have been indicted for elder abuse, reports said.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Loyce Pickquet Agyeman, Wanda Nuckles and Mable Turman four years after WWII veteran James Dempsey died under their care at the Northeast Atlanta Rehabilitation Center, the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Dempsey’s family secretly recorded a video with a hidden camera, showing him saying he can’t breathe — and the nurses failing to take life-saving measures.
“Video surveillance shows the patient suffering in respiratory distress and repeatedly calling out for help,†Yvette Jones, a spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office, said.
“Soon after his distress calls, the victim became unresponsive.â€
The women kept their jobs almost three years after the incident and didn’t surrender their licenses until a local television station, WXIA, sent the damning video to The Georgia Board of Nursing.
After the video came to light, law enforcement opened an investigation. Agyeman, a former licensed nurse, was charged with murder and neglect to an elder person. Nuckles, also a former licensed nurse, was charged with depriving an elder person of essential services and Turman, a certified nurse assistant, was charged with neglect to an elder person. All three face charges for concealing a death.
