Two women accused of running a fight club at an assisted living residence in North Carolina are being spared jail time despite being convicted of encouraging dementia patients to fight and then filming the results.
Police said that Marilyn Latish McKey, 35, and Taneshia Deshawn Jordan, 28, were arrested in October 2019, following a report in June of that year of elderly abuse at the Danby House in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
McKey pleaded guilty to two counts of assault on an individual with a disability and Jordan pleaded guilty to one count of assault on an individual with a disability, Forsyth County Clerk of Superior Court’s told McClatchy News.
On Monday, McKey was given a suspended sentence of 45 days in prison, with 12 months of supervised probation, the court said.
Meanwhile, Jordan was given a suspended sentence of 30 days in prison, with 12 months of unsupervised probation.
A third woman, Tonacia Yvonne Tyson, 23, had also been arrested with the pair at the time of the incidents, but was later cleared of a misdemeanor.

Someone should take “custody” of them.
Make them fight it out EVERY DAY until the blood loss kills one of them. The other one?
Finish her by slowly beating her to death for about two weeks or so. Twice a day.
Imagine your 85 year old mother being forced to FIGHT while these subhuman whores laughed and bet on the winner. How terrifying it must have been for these defenseless old people to wonder, every night, which one of them was picked for the gladiator contests..
Probation?!!!
Hang the judge, too. He has no right to being a judge. Waaaay too stupid. Or put him in a cage with these two and only one is allowed to leave alive. Better yet, put HIS mother in the cage.
Then hang that one, too.
Slowly.
Disgust doesn’t even begin to describe it.
