This includes 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 2: some maggots in that rotten flesh, feces mixed inside there, 26 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: and everything is mean as bad as you can you 27 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: can imagine. In fact, it's bad enough to read it, 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: it's bad enough to describe it. Imagine what it would 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: be like to have to live through that when you're 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: the persson that's relatively incapacitated. 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: The elderly man suffered from other health ailments in addition 32 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: to the abuse heaped on him by the daughter, including 33 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: diabetes and heart disease.

I think the important 38 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: part here is that he's going to get the care 39 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: that he should have gotten months ago. 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: Reynolds pleaded not guilty to a charge of elder neglect 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: last week.
