A Brandon woman has been found not guilty of failing to provide proper medical care to her 96-year-old mother, who later died in hospital. During the trial, court heard Collins was taken to hospital on Nov. 26, 2014, after family members raised concerns about the quality of care Deutscher was providing after Collins moved into her daughter's Brandon home. Andrew Synyshyn, Deutscher's lawyer, didn't call any witnesses or evidence at the trial, but told court the Crown had failed to prove Collins' life was endangered by Deutscher. 'Smiling down from heaven'The judge said Tuesday he wasn't satisfied that the quality of care endangered Collins' life, despite the injuries found on her when she was examined at the hospital. "The evidence of the various experts called on behalf of the Crown does not establish how the life of [Collins] was endangered," he said.
