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

[Rosemary Huskey]

Thank you for posting this, Saundra. The Pennsylvania case and the Moscow
case seem to have similar aspects.  Perhaps we learn more about our locally
charged couple after the preliminary hearing today.  It is to be hoped that
they will be bound over to District Court on the following charges after the
hearing this afternoon.

The same charges have been filed against her
boyfriend/companion/self-proclaimed "husband" Charles Wright.  Incidentally,
anyone can check on criminal histories by going to the
<https://www.idcourts.us/repository/start.do> Idaho Repository which I
believe is administered by the Idaho Supreme Court.  (I may be wrong about
that source, if so please correct me.)  It's an easy fill in the blank
search to prior and current Idaho court cases.  Mr. Wright and Ms. Winter,
while extracting money by the handful for t.v. sets, computer game playing
equipment, and engagement ring(s), from Mr. Pohrman's bank account, also
enjoyed robbing Idaho taxpayers to support their lazy, parasitic, abusive,
piggish lifestyle.  I too have questions/concerns about the role that Good
Sam, Probation and Parole, and local extended  family members and friends
played in the alleged unsupervised neglect and abuse administered by Mr.
Wright and Ms. Winter toward Mr. Pohrman.  Luckily, we have a strong
prosecutorial team led by Mia Vowels (and, to be fair an experienced,
excellent public defenders) trying this case. If the Daily News editors
don't feel theses alleged crimes are worth their attention I'm sure local
other media will rise to the occasion.   If any of you  have time to check
out local justice in action I urge you to stop by the courthouse and watch
it in person.  Future court times and dates will be on the Repository.  I am
certain that parts of this trial  will be very disturbing (not to mention
head exploding if Ms. Winter and Mr. Wright start offering jackass
explanations for their behavior) to hear. Nonetheless, a show of public
concern supports our court system by introducing the important element of
citizen interest in our prosecutorial, defense, and judicial structures.

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.
