KC woman gets 5 years for elder abuse of mom

A Kansas City woman is going to prison for abusing her 91-year-old mother and making her live in awful conditions. From Joe Lambe's story:

A police officer testified Friday that the home in the 300 block of East 79th Terrace was the most disgusting situation he had ever seen. Feces, used toilet paper and buckets of urine were all over, and the smell was vile, he said.

Shinn, who had bruises and cuts on her body and a compound fracture of her arm, told police that her daughter was trying to kill her.
