Kasem’s widow won’t face criminal charges

LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles prosecutors said Friday that they won’t file elder-abuse charges against Casey Kasem’s widow despite efforts by three of the radio personality’s children to have her prosecuted.

A charge evaluation sheet released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said Kasem had received consistent medical care in his final days and that it wouldn’t be appropriate to charge Jean Kasem.
