Wednesday, July 13, 30 years Joseph D. McCoy, Lake Isabella and her mother, Darlene l. Green, Weldon, appeared in the Kern County Superior Court on charges of abuse and neglect more.
Lawyers for the accused indicated that an offer for a sentence of seven years by McCoy and up to one year in prison with probation for felony by Green had been placed on the table by Deputy District Attorney. As judge Michael Lewis read the charges before the Court seem to be surprised when he said that there was an addition to negligence. Added an improvement of the death. "The older person has died?" he questioned. Melissa Allen Deputy District Attorney confirmed the additional allegation.
At that time judge Lewis reminds both parties that if the negligence was the cause of death, a sentence of 10 years should be added to the offer.
Green's mother, Margaret Gray, died in April. Gray was in the care of his grandson, McCoy, when it was discovered the neglect.
February 8, McCoy was arrested charged with making criminal threats in an unrelated case. At this time Green assumed the responsibility of caring for grey. Three members days after Kern of the Sheriff of the County were sent to Gray House to investigate a charge of negligence for older adults. Upon arrival, they found green at home and gray in the bedroom.
According to the report of the arrest of field grey of 90 years of age had been neglected for weeks.
The Deputy believes had "stage 4 ulcers on his lower back that expose his tail bone," says the report. The report points to the honourable Member calls charges of elder neglect occur against green. She was arrested on May 13, after that Gray had died in the hospital.
According to lawyer of Green, John Tello of Bakersfield, Gray refused to allow green to play. Green's visits to the House are limited to once a month because of an undisclosed illness and a broken wrist.
Tello also said that the protection services for adults has been the home day McCoy was arrested and I didn't do anything to grey. The Agency had been contacted by the sister of Green, who lives outside the area. Jeremy Oliver of the Office of AP in Bakersfield would confirm nor deny that his Office knew the case. He and his supervisor, Lito Morillo cited privacy as the reason for not commenting.
Oliver once said APS receives a call from neglect or abuse, the Department must respond within 10 days. Apparently, the confidentiality extends even after death, as Oliver did not say if Gray has never been a patient in the program.
It has set a preliminary hearing on July 20 in Kern Superior Court to the County in Bakersfield from McCoy and green.
According to county records, both defendants remain in custody facilities pretrial Lerdo with bail McCoy $225,000 and $100,000 for the green.
