Un hombre de La Mesa que mat\u00f3 a su esposo enfermo a trav\u00e9s de la alimentaci\u00f3n forzada fue sentenciado el 6 de mayo a tres a\u00f1os de c\u00e1rcel, pero ser\u00e1 liberado el 24 de diciembre de 2022 debido al cr\u00e9dito por el tiempo cumplido anteriormente.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thomas Wayne Zupner, ahora de 67 a\u00f1os, que hab\u00eda estado en libertad con una fianza de $250,000, fue esposado y detenido inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de que el juez de la Corte Superior de El Caj\u00f3n, Robert Amador, lo sentenciara por la muerte de Blake Synowski, de 62 a\u00f1os.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Synowski, un dentista de El Caj\u00f3n, muri\u00f3 el 17 de septiembre de 2019 en la casa de la pareja en la cuadra 10900 de Explorer Road en La Mesa alrededor de las 10:54 p. m. despu\u00e9s de que los param\u00e9dicos y los agentes del alguacil no pudieran revivirlo.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

En un juicio sin jurado, Amador absolvi\u00f3 a Zupner de asesinato en segundo grado y se declar\u00f3 culpable de homicidio involuntario en marzo. Amador neg\u00f3 la libertad condicional y le dio cr\u00e9dito por los 633 d\u00edas que pas\u00f3 en la c\u00e1rcel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMi hermano estar\u00eda vivo hoy si no hubiera sido por (Zupner). No es mentalmente estable y eso me asusta\u201d, dijo Sheryl Kelsh, quien le dijo al juez que no comprende el \u201cveredicto inimaginable\u201d que emiti\u00f3.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c9l no pidi\u00f3 que lo alimentaran a la fuerza\u201d, dijo otra hermana, Rosemary Mattson. \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo de cuidador alimenta a la fuerza?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La madre de la v\u00edctima, Jennie Lee Synowski, de 97 a\u00f1os, habl\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s de una computadora en la sala del tribunal mientras escuchaba la audiencia de Washington. Ella le dijo al juez que \u201cla muerte de mi hijo fue cualquier cosa menos natural\u2026 c\u00f3mo fue torturado con galletas forzadas en su garganta\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Todos los familiares instaron a la pena m\u00e1xima de 4 a\u00f1os de prisi\u00f3n, al igual que la fiscal adjunta Meredith Pro.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El abogado de Zupner, Paul Pfingst, le dijo al juez que \u201ceste es el (caso) de homicidio involuntario m\u00e1s inusual que este tribunal jam\u00e1s ver\u00e1\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEl acto que caus\u00f3 la muerte se hizo por amor\u201d, dijo Pfingst. \u201cEl acto ten\u00eda la intenci\u00f3n de ayudar a su esposo que ten\u00eda problemas de salud\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pfingst, exfiscal de distrito, pidi\u00f3 libertad condicional y no m\u00e1s tiempo bajo custodia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLamento mucho lo que pas\u00f3. Lo siento mucho\u201d, dijo Zupner. \u201cPens\u00e9 que estaba haciendo lo correcto. Pens\u00e9 que lo estaba ayudando. Lo siento mucho."<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Amador dijo que solo pudo encontrar otro caso fatal de alimentaci\u00f3n forzada en el que un empleado del hospital fue condenado por homicidio involuntario de un paciente.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLo mataste sin ninguna raz\u00f3n. Era tu esposo\u201d, dijo Amador. \u201cEsta era una posici\u00f3n de confianza\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El juez orden\u00f3 a Zupner pagar $6,009 en restituci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Zupner permanece en el Centro de Detenci\u00f3n George Bailey hasta su liberaci\u00f3n el 24 de diciembre, seg\u00fan el departamento del alguacil.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
