A 70-year-old North Carolina man did nothing as his wife of 40 years lay helpless on the floor of their home for more than six months and watched as insects ate away at her bed sores, prosecutors said.
Louis Kornhaber on Friday was found guilty of second-degree murder and neglect of a disabled adult resulting in serious injury in the death of his wife, the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office said in a press release. Superior Court Judge Matthew J. Osman sentenced Kornhaber to between 94 months and 125 months in prison which works out to seven years and 10 months to 10 years and five months. He will receive credit for the 1,351 days he’s already served in jail.
