The facts of the case determine their liability and criminal responsibility.
What contractual responsibility did they have? Did the elderly man have a
guardian or other responsible agent to make his decisions or represent him?
What specific circumstances evidence any neglect on the part of the couple?
The facts must be discussed with someone at the Dept on Aging,
local State's Attorney, or experienced attorney who can advise interested
persons regarding the legal options.
