Florida CNA Faces Trial for Abuse

We discussed Shamara Daniels, a former CNA at Freedom Village in Bradenton, Florida accused of abusing a 98 year old resident in her care, in a previous blog. Daniels was charged with one count of battery of a victim older than 65 after a resident was found bruised on both eyes, scratched on her face, and had a bite mark on her hand. Daniels allegedly was trying to stop the resident from biting and spitting on her. Daniels' trial begins May 28, 2009 and she faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
