Abuse at Minnesota Nursing Home Makes Work "Fun" - UPDATE
We discussed this tragic situation in a previous blog.
Judge Steven Schwab in Freeborn County heard arguments on July 13, 2009 concerning restricting information in the case involving teenagers at a Minnesota nursing home abusing the residents. Allegedly, four teenagers harmed fifteen fragile residents of Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Albert Lea in 2008 by abusing them psychologically, physically, and sexually. Brianna Broitzman and Ashton Larson, two aides at the facility, are charged with felonies in the abuse cases.
Prosecutors want case information restricted. Specifically, they are asking that the media be forbidden from publishing or broadcasting videos, auto recordings, and court transcripts. The judge is also considering ordering the medical not to release victim names.
The judge is expected to rule by 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14, 2009.
