Give people an affordable, civil way out when we are not able to fend for ourselves. Charges? She probably asked him to do it.
And how do they know her 92 year old husband did it? I worked at a nursing home for 30 years. All of the 92 year old men can't even scratch their own ear or feed theirselves.
