Police say Wallick and Cecil failed to provide care for their client, 24-year-old Fantasia Robinson, who suffered from a degenerative disease and was supposed to receive round-the-clock care.
Robinson was found unresponsive and pinned between her wheelchair and a cabinet in her apartment on May 5, 3013. She had severe burns to her abdomen and upper legs, possibly from a hot liquid.
She died in a hospital about five weeks later.
