## Resource

A stepson convicted of manslaughter for leaving his stepfather’s body to decompose for over a year faces nine years in prison — with parole possible as early as August 21st, due to his severe health issues and nearly three years already served. The victim, a bedridden Jehovah’s Witness who died in February 2022, was cut off from his family by his stepson, who confiscated his phone. His daughters revealed the devastating emotional toll — months of isolation, no contact, and no funeral rites — while the victim’s wife, who lived with Golem, refused to cooperate with police and faces no charges. Though Golem’s defense cited his cognitive impairments and the alleged inaction of his second wife, the court heard that Golem had previously relied on his father’s care — even as he now faces prison for failing to honor that bond in death.
