Aide sat on autistic teen, jury told
A state health aide "squeezed the life" out of an autistic boy during a winter field trip after his co-worker stopped their van outside a Colonie supermarket to argue over his bank account, a prosecutor charged Wednesday.
Edwin Tirado, 36, of Schenectady was "essentially sitting" on 13-year-old Jonathan Carey as the boy's legs flailed in the van, parked outside the Hannaford store on Wolf Road on Feb. 15, Assistant District Attorney David Rossi said. view article
