Prosecution lays out case against Donohues

The commonwealth slogged through sheaves of bank loans, deeds and mortgages Friday morning in the elder abuse murder trial of William and Frances Donohue.
Using those documents, prosecutor Tim Barker laid the foundation for his argument that the Donohues used the power of attorney to sell property they owned in Maryland with William's elderly mother, Bernadette Leiben; used the proceeds to buy a 32-acre horse farm in Airville in their names; and then let the 87-year-old bedridden Leiben die from neglect in May 2004.
The Donohues are charged with first- and third-degree murder and criminal conspiracy. Their trial continues today in the York County Judicial Center.
