"The way she died is like in a Stephen King horror movie. This doesn't happen in real life,"
"She was asleep sometime around 9:00. And by 10:00, she was beaten to a pulp,"
"Dementia can bring on unprovoked out of nowhere a fit of complete rage. So defensively, that's the defense. Now it'll be interesting to see how that plays in against the backdrop of apparently discarding the piece of the wheelchair, washing her hands in the bathroom. Now suddenly we begin to see maybe I do know what I was doing,"
An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor born in Ukraine was found with head injuries in her room at a New York nursing home and later died of blunt force trauma. A 95-year-old roommate is accused of fatally beating her; a leg rest from a wheelchair was recovered outside the building as the alleged weapon. Staff discovered the roommate washing blood in a bathroom after only two days sharing a room. The accused was arraigned and held without bail. Potential legal actions include civil claims against the facility for improper roommate placement and questions about dementia as a defense.
