A former caregiver for an 89-year-old woman suffering from dementia has been ordered to make $67,560 in restitution to her guardianship estate in installments.
The judgment entry was filed by visiting Mahoning County Probate Judge Denny Clunk of Alliance against David Venerose of Youngstown, after Venerose and the woman’s guardianship estate reached a settlement.
“As a result, the complaint is dismissed, and there is no finding of guilt by this court,” Judge Clunk wrote.
The woman moved from her Boardman house to a Youngstown nursing home in February 2009.

If sentencing laws were enhanced, perhaps this type of thing could be discouraged.
The sad thing here is that the resitution monies will probably be awarded to lawyers for fees.
She agrees to pay the money back and the judge then dismisses the complaint?
I'm shocked.
In other words, you can rob the bank and then promise to pay it back and the case will be dropped?
