-- A 23-year old nursing assistant at a Quincy assisted-living center pled not guilty on Friday to seven counts of assault and battery on a person over 60. She allegedly abused four Alzheimer's patients on one eight-hour shift last Saturday. The employee, since fired, is accused of a range of abuses from hitting a 79-year old woman who allegedly hit her to allegedly forcing an 89-year old woman onto a toilet by grabbing her jaw and reportedly telling a co-worker "I should make her eat it." The suspect faces 21 years in prison and $7,000 in fines if convicted. [Herald]
