State v. Mack A. Gaines
Syllabus
Mack Gaines was convicted of abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult resulting in death and sentenced to twenty years in prison. Gaines appeals, arguing the circuit court erred in failing to direct a verdict in his favor where the State failed to demonstrate he was a \caregiver\ as defined by the Omnibus Adult Protection Act (the Act).
