NANCY POWELL ■ Staff Writer (July 6, 2012) The home care worker who stole from her client, an elderly Ocean Pines woman, was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison. “You have a hard time understanding you’re not entitled to what’s not yours,” Judge Thomas C. Groton III told Shameika Leshea Turner in Circuit Court in Snow Hill. Turner pleaded guilty to obtaining property from a vulnerable adult. In exchange for her guilty plea, the State’s Attorney’s Office did not prosecute the other nine charges against her. Turner took care of the woman three days a week in August 2011 and on Sept. 2. The woman was recuperating from a triple bypass operation at the time. On that last day, Turner took the woman’s credit card and two bonus checks from the credit card company. “She used her position of trust to gain access,” Assistant State’s Attorney Steve Rakow said. She used the credit card at a mall and cashed a check at a local bank. In court, Turner, who turns 32 on July 23, said she is unemployed and has four children. She gets assistance from Social Services. She said she was concerned about what would happen to them if she went to jail. Groton told her she should have thought of her children before she stole. He noted that she had two prior theft convictions. He then sentenced her to three years in prison, with all but one year suspended. After her release from jail, she will be on supervised probation for two years and must pay a $500 fine and $170 in court costs. She must also make restitution of $2,155.87 to the credit card company. Groton said he would allow Turner to begin her jail term July 16 so she may have the time for a non-emergency medical procedure that she wants to have. Turner’s elderly victim was in court, but chose not to speak.
