The woman accused of allowing an elderly man at a Walnut Creek assisted living facility to the drink cleaning solution that led to his death asked a judge Monday to delay her arraignment so she can hire a private attorney.
accused of allowing an elderly man at a Walnut Creek assisted living facility to the drink cleaning solution that led to his deathLateshia Sherise Starling, 54, of San Pablo, will now be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 6 in Superior Court in Martinez.
Starling faces one count of felony elder abuse leading to the death of Constantine Albert Canoun, 94. She was being held at the Martinez Detention Facility in lieu of $100,000 bail. Canoun was living at the Atria Walnut Creek assisted living facility on Aug. 23 last year when he had to be rushed to the hospital after ingesting a cleaning solution that was in the kitchen. He died Aug. 31 after suffering injuries to his stomach, esophagus and part of his throat, prosecutors said.
A few days after his death, facility officials released a statement claiming it was uncertain what caused the reaction, but that they believe it was likely"food related.
In Maxwell's case, Atria has said an employee mistook the solution for juice, though employees allegedly told first responders Maxwell found the cleaner and drank it on her own.
