Mean Girls Allegedly Spit At, Poked Patients
Defendants Face Up to One Year In Prison, $300,000 Fine if Convicted
Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson said that the teens could face up to one year in prison, $300,000 in fines or both if convicted of the charges.
Nelson, who declined to speak further with ABCNews.com about the pending case, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that if found guilty, the teens will "most likely face suspended jail sentences and probation, so they'd have the threat of jail hanging over them if they get in more trouble."
Mark Anderson, the administrator of the nursing home, did not respond to messages left by ABCNews.com.
Anderson told a local news station that he was devastated when he heard about the allegations.
"Our hearts are in the right place," said Anderson. "We're moving forward. Our heads are held up high." Broitzman and Larson will be arraigned on Jan. 21, 2009.
