Ohio Supreme Court Decides 65 Year Prison Sentence for Nursing Home Thief Will Stand

The Supreme Court of Ohio has decided that the 65-year prison sentence given to a former nursing home aide who stole personal items from residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities should stand, Dan Trevas reports for Court News Ohio. Susan Gwynne received an extensive prison term after a Delaware County trial court imposed consecutive sentences, ranging from six months to three years, on 46 theft-related charges. Between 2008 and 2016, Gwynne stole items from residents while working as a nurse’s aide or pretending to be a nurse’s aide. In 2016, she was charged with 86 felony counts and several misdemeanors and agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges.
