DETROIT – Jayden Hayden, 20, came before a judge on Monday in the case of the May 15 brutal beating of 75-year-old Norman Bledsoe at Westwood Nursing Center.
“He came to the facility because of COVID. They opened a COVID unit so that’s how Mr. Bledsoe was introduced into the nursing home,” said nurse, Joely Pointer while explaining why the two were placed in the same room together.
Nursing home worker, Stewart Robinson, was the first one to enter room 205 where the assault took place after hearing the commotion. Robinson says Hayden tried to make the whole thing look like an accident.
