Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Blog

Three Jackson, Mississippi women pled guilty to crimes against a nursing home resident this week. Ashley Showers, Brittan Slaughter, and Jamise James each pled guilty in a scheme in which the resident's social security card and driver's license was stolen and used to obtain credit cards, cell phones and other merchandise. Slaughter cooperated in the investigation and received probation and a $500 fine. Showers and James were given sentences of five years, with four years suspended, and ordered to make restitution.

Sadly, the victim in this incident died before the women were sentenced.
