[Vision2020] Couple sent to trial in son's starvation death

[Saundra Lund]

Visionaries,

 

I wonder why this lovely couple in PA is charged with homicide while local
miscreants Lindsey Winter aka "Wright" & Charles Wright who are directly
responsible for starving veteran Lee Pohrman to death are only charged with
"abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult" with respect to his death?
Certainly, the wheels of justice in PA are far more timely than here, I'm
sorry to say.  Mr. Pohrman will have been dead for a year on Monday.

 

For those interested, it looks like the preliminary hearing for the two
local monsters will FINALLY take place this afternoon in magistrate court 3+
months after they were arrested and bonded out.  This time last year, Mr.
Pohrman was very near death from PROLONGED starvation while the monsters
continued to steal his money -- his torturous captivity ended only with his
death on 3 November 2013.

 

I also wonder why on earth Wright's probation for felony burglary hasn't
been yanked?  I guess keeping a vulnerable adult imprisoned in squalor in a
horrendous trailer under your total control while you starve him to death
and rob him blind isn't "bad" enough to warrant probation revocation in
Latah County.  Go figure.  Note, too, the lovely couple below are being held
without bail as opposed to the local monsters who had bail set ridiculously
low and perhaps used their dead victim's money to bail themselves out.
Despicable.

 

I hope CPS is doing its job of keeping their little girl -- and any other
children born since -- safe from these disgusting excuses for human beings.

 

Does anyone know if Good Sam has made any statement about how it came to
discharge a vulnerable adult into the care of an employee's close relative
that ended in the resident's death?  I've tried to keep my eyes open for
such a statement but haven't seen anything -- has anyone?

Couple Sent to Trial in Son's Starvation Death

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Oct 30, 2014, 2:09 PM ET

By PETER JACKSON Associated Press 

 

A Pennsylvania couple has been ordered to stand trial on criminal homicide
charges in the starvation death of their 9-year-old son.

A Dauphin County judge announced the decision after a two-hour preliminary
hearing Thursday at the jail where Kimberly and Jarrod Tutko Sr. are held
without bail.

Police who found Jarrod Tutko Jr.'s decomposing body on Aug. 1 say the boy
lived in a locked, feces-smeared room on the third floor of the family's
Harrisburg home.

An autopsy showed he died of malnutrition and neglect and weighed less than
17 pounds.

Authorities say the child suffered from several painful conditions and spent
his early years between foster care and his parents' custody.

Kimberly Tutko told police they collected $710 a month each in disability
payments and that neither parent worked.
