Mr. McCullough and Ms. Houston were properly supervised

15

to ensure their duties were performed adequately?

16

A.

Yes, I think we did.

17

Q.

Did you disagree that they -- his finding that

18

they did not properly restrain Latasha which led to

19

A.

Well, there are no standards that require a

Q.

A direct-care

Yes.

14

Q.

15

performing their duties adequately, right?

16

A.

Correct.

17

Q.

And so did you read his finding to conclude

18
