Description
Prosecutors allege a doctor and nurse at the Las Colinas jail in Santee "failed" a woman who died while in custody in 2019, while defense attorneys argued their clients only treated the woman during a limited window of time and were not ultimately responsible for her death.
Friederike Von Lintig, 59, and Danalee Pascua, 38, are charged with involuntary manslaughter in the Nov. 11, 2019, death of 24-year-old Elisa Serna.
Serna died five days after she was booked into the jail. A county medical examiner determined that Serna died of complications of chronic polysubstance abuse with a contributing factor of early intrauterine pregnancy.
She was pronounced dead shortly after she collapsed in her cell in the jail's medical observation unit.
