SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Two Illinois paramedics accused of killing a patient are expected to appear in court on Thursday.
Peter J. Cadigan, 50, and Peggy Jill Finley, 45, are facing first-degree murder charges following the death of a man in their care last month. They are being held in the Sangamon County Jail on $1 million bonds. Both defendants are scheduled for a preliminary hearing before a circuit judge in the Sangamon County Courthouse in Springfield on Thursday at 9 a.m. local time, according to online records.
In the video, Finley can be heard yelling at a Black man on the floor, who identified himself as 35-year-old Earl L. Moore, Jr., to"sit up" and"quit acting stupid." She is also heard telling Moore:"We ain't carrying you" and"I am seriously not in the mood for this dumb [stuff]," using an expletive in her remark.
According to police, the officers attempted to provide Moore care after the paramedics"acted indifferently to the patient's condition." A representative for LifeStar Ambulance Service, Inc., which employs Finley and Cadigan, told ABC News last week"no comment," in regards to the ongoing investigation into the incident. ABC News has since reached out again for comment.
