A murder case may hinge on the legal debate as to whether a family needed nurses’ permission to record them inside a patient’s room, according to an article on the 11 Alive website.
A hidden camera video showing nursing staff ignoring an 89-year-old man begging for help as he slowly died in an Atlanta area nursing home in 2014.
The man’s son put the camera inside the room with with his father’s permission after he complained about poor treatment from staff.
Defense attorneys for the three accused women argue the hidden camera video was recorded illegally. This past spring, the Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to hear the case and it could potentially rule the video cannot be used in court.
