SPRINGFIELD, ILL (WICS/WRSP) — New details tonight on the two LifeStar EMS workers charged with first-degree murder.
Both Peggy Finley and Peter Cadigan are accused of strapping Earl Moore Jr. face-down on a gurney in December,
The 35-year-old died an hour later.
They both pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors are saying that both Peggy Finley and Peter Cadigan lied to investigators multiple times about the night Earl Moore Jr. died.
Prosecutors said Finley falsely claimed to the Illinois State Police that she took Moore's vitals during transport from the scene to St. John’s Hospital.
However, in a recorded call between Finley and the Medical Intensive Care Unit, Finley is heard saying she was not “messing with vitals” because she didn’t want to “poke the bear.”
Hospital staff also reported not getting any vitals for Moore from Finley and Cadigan.
According to the ISP investigation, Finley, who was riding in the back of the ambulance while Cadigan drove, told investigators the ambulance’s emergency lights and sirens were on during transport. But that claim is refuted by Cadigan’s statement along with surveillance video from an intersection the ambulance went through.
Cadigan also told ISP that he did not receive any training on patient positioning and the risks of positional asphyxia caused by prone transport. But state police found records that Cadigan went through training on the topics about six months before Moore's death.
