A Sasngamon County judge has found probable cause to proceed with murder charges against the two EMTs who are charged in the death of a patient in their care. The two have pleaded not guilty to those charges, and are due back in court next month.
Peter Cadigan and Peggy Finley remain in the Sangamon County Jail on $1 million bond each. A preliminary hearing was held Friday for both of them, as an Illinois State Police investigator testified about some of the evidence he gathered as he looked into the death of Earl Moore, Jr. last month.
Prosecutors say Cadigan and Finley knew that their actions, tightly restraining Moore face down on a gurney, could cause death or serious bodily harm. It’s not yet known if Cadigan and Finley will be tried together or separately on the murder charges.
