macintoshcompany.com

The seven former Whetstone Garden and Care Center workers accused of neglecting a patient who died pleaded not guilty on Monday. 

They are free on bond on charges including forgery, gross patient neglect, and involuntary manslaughter. Patient James Chandler developed a bedsore which then led to his death from sepsis.  Five defendants agreed to put their nursing licenses on inactive status pending their trials. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
