SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The caregiver for a 74-year-old man who died in her care and another senior who were both involuntarily locked away at her various San Diego residences was sentenced Friday to 13 years in state prison.Shirley Montano, 53, pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of voluntary manslaughter, false imprisonment of a dependent adult and perjury.A murder charge stemming from the death of Robert Chagas was dropped under the plea agreement.RELATED: Woman to stand trial for senior's death, abuse of elderly womanProsecutors alleged the defendant withheld food from Chagas and Josefina Kellogg, 61, causing their health to deteriorate over the course of several years, during which she moved often and relocated them, as well.Chagas died Oct. 7, 2016, at Sharp Memorial Hospital of pneumonia, which prosecutors argued was exacerbated by severe malnutrition he suffered under Montano's care.While the victims lived with Montano, she used their social security checks and other government benefits to buy herself a truck, among other personal purchases, and gambled away their money at local casinos, according to prosecutors.Testimony from Montano's 2019 preliminary hearing indicated Chagas and Kellogg were kept isolated from others and were confined to their respective bedrooms. Montano's niece, who stayed with her for about a year, testified that for the first month she lived at her aunt's apartment, she was not even aware Kellogg existed because the woman would hardly ever emerge from her bedroom.RELATED: La Jolla man arrested for assaulting elderly woman in Morro Bay, police sayOthers who resided at Montano's apartment or visited were offered various explanations for the presence of the victims, according to testimony.Kellogg testified that she stayed in her bedroom for several hours each day and feared angering Montano, who would hit her if she did not obey the rules of the house.Chagas was "emaciated" when he was brought into the hospital, where he died five days later, prosecutors said.RELATED: Woman sentenced for defrauding 86-year-old auntAt the hospital, Montano posed as Chagas' niece and told medical personnel that he did not wish to be resuscitated, according to testimony. Chagas' family members were only notified of his hospitalization after his death, they testified.Montano's attorney, Shannon Sebeckis, argued at the preliminary hearing there was no evidence that Chagas' malnutrition was caused by her client, and instead was the natural result of aging.Sebeckis reiterated the testimony of San Diego County Chief Medical Examiner Glenn Wagner, who declined to classify Chagas' death as a homicide. Wagner said Chagas was not getting sufficient food, but could not opine as to why, only that it appeared to be due to non-medical factors.No calls were made by family or medical professionals to Adult Protective Services in Chagas' case, which also contributed to Wagner's opinion not to classify his death as a homicide, the doctor said.While evidence was presented that Chagas once told a doctor that his weight loss was due to not having enough money for food, Sebeckis said that was not proof that Montano was taking his money or withholding food, especially in light of Chagas' issues with handling his own finances.Chagas' family members testified that an accident that occurred at childbirth had left him "slow," as his brother Richard described it, and that throughout his adult life, Chagas was susceptible to being scammed and had lost exorbitant amounts of money to fraudsters, leading family members to take an active role in assisting him with taxes and paying bills.Sebeckis argued there was little direct evidence that Montano didn't feed the seniors, as past roommates said they had seen her providing food for Chagas and Kellogg. The attorney also said Chagas was not confined at all, and regularly left the apartment each day for his janitorial job at Sea World, which he attended with a sack lunch prepared by Montano each day.The defense attorney also said it was "pure speculation and conjecture" that Montano didn't use the seniors' funds to pay for their basic needs. 4151

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - People who visited the Lucky Lady Casino in San Diego on weekends over a six-month period ending in late September may have been exposed to tuberculosis, county health officials reported Tuesday.The Health and Human Services Agency is working with the casino to inform patrons and staff who may have been exposed between Feb. 23 and Sept. 30, said county spokesman Jose A. Alvarez.HHSA will provide testing at no cost to patrons who were potentially exposed, Alvarez said. Testing will be offered from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Dec. 8 and 9 at the casino at 5526 El Cajon Blvd., he said.People who visited the casino are encouraged to contact their doctor or county TB Control if they cannot get tested on Dec. 8 or 9, Alvarez said.Beginning Tuesday, testing is also being offered to casino staff at no cost by county Occupational Health, according to HHSA officials, who noted it can take eight to 10 weeks after exposure for someone to test positive for TB.Those wanting more information may call Lucky Lady Casino at (619) 287- 6690 or the county TB Control Program (619) 692-8621.Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county's public health officer, said most people who are exposed do not become infected. However, testing is recommended because initial infection usually has no symptoms, she said.Tuberculosis is transmitted from person-to-person through indoor air during prolonged contact with an infectious individual. Symptoms include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss.The number of annual TB cases in San Diego County has decreased since the early 1990s, Alvarez said, with 258 cases reported in 2016, 237 in 2017 and 163 cases so far in 2018. 1691

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego-area elected officials mourned the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with county Supervisor Nathan Fletcher calling her death, ``a heartbreaking loss for our country.''``Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had a brilliant mind, compassionate heart and deep appreciation for our constitution and what American values should represent,'' Fletcher said Friday. ``I had the great honor to have lunch with her a few years back and was blown away by her intellect and playful spirit.``As a professor at UCSD, her dissent in Shelby v. Holder is a masterpiece in constitutional law. There will never be another RBG.''The court ruled in the case that the provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 containing the coverage formula determining which jurisdictions are subject to preclearance based on their histories of discrimination in voting was unconstitutional.In her dissent, Ginsburg wrote, ``throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet."Fletcher's wife, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, tweeted, ``My heart aches. We will truly miss the clear vision and leadership of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Rest in Power!''Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins, D-San Diego, said ``We have lost a major force of our time. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a tireless advocate for justice, a brilliant legal mind, and an outstanding role model for generations of people.``Like millions of Americans, I join Justice Ginsburg's family in mourning her devastating loss, and honoring her legacy of feminism, equality, and progress.''Assemblyman Todd Gloria, D-San Diego, wrote, ``Our nation is better, fairer, and more just because of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Today, we pause to reflect on her extraordinary life. Tomorrow, we must do the work to ensure her legacy is not undone. Godspeed Notorious RBG.''San Diego City Council President Georgette Gomez called Ginsburg ``a trailblazing advocate for women and a voice of integrity, justice, and equality on the Supreme Court.''``Her life has inspired generations to always pursue justice for all,'' Gomez said. ``In her memory, we must keep fighting to make equality a reality in America.''Ginsburg was the second woman appointed to the Supreme Court, nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993.The Columbia Law School graduate taught at Rutgers and Columbia and was a fierce courtroom advocate of women's rights, making her an iconic figure to feminists and earned her the nickname ``Notorious RBG.''While heading the Women's Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union in the 1970s, she brought a series of cases before the court that helped establish constitutional protections against sex discrimination.Ginsburg died at her home in Washington of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer, the court announced. She was 87. 2972

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County Vector Control officials reminded residents today to protect themselves against wild rodents after three deer mice were found carrying the potentially deadly hantavirus.Vector Control officials collected the mice in Boulevard during a regular monitoring exercise. Hantavirus occurrences in wild rodents are not uncommon in undeveloped areas of the county, but residents can avoid potentially infected rodents by keeping them out of areas like sheds, garages and homes.Vector Control officials also found five hantavirus-carrying mice in Bonsall, 4S Ranch and Potrero in January.There is no cure or vaccine for hantavirus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of infection can include fever, aches in the large muscle groups, dizziness, digestive issues and abdominal pain. Hantavirus infection is generally unlikely, though, because rodents tend to avoid humans and developed spaces.Residents are advised to use ``wet cleaning'' methods like a bleach solution spray or a sponge and a mop if they find rodent droppings or nests.Sweeping or vacuuming nests and droppings can send the virus into the air, raising the chance of infection. Vector Control officials also advise residents to double-bag and seal rodent debris before throwing it away.Residents can avoid hantavirus exposure by sealing holes that are larger than a dime in homes and adjacent spaces and quickly eliminating rodent debris and infestations. Residents can call the county's Department ofEnvironmental Health at (858) 694-2888 for more information about avoiding hantavirus infection. 1630
