AUGUSTA, Ga. – A woman has been sentenced over the case of a man found dead at the unlicensed personal care home she owned.
April Paulk was facing multiple charges for neglect of a disabled adult, exploitation of a disabled adult and obstruction of justice, according to previous coverage.
She was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to 20 years. Fifteen of those are behind bars and the last five are on probation.
