Springfield Attendant Guilty of Manslaughter in State Hospital
Judge James E. Boylan Jr. convicts James E. Weicht, 24, a former soldier serving as an attendant at Springfield State Hospital, of manslaughter for using more force than necessary to subdue 88 year old Franklin Miller Sr., who died the following day after a struggle over a safety pin. Weicht testified he feared patients and had only worked a week, while an attendant, James E. Sprindling, said he kicked Miller. The court noted the use of excessive force in self defense and urged humane treatment of inmates. Weicht faces appeals within three days before sentencing.
