Judge Lets Murder Charges Against Gary Marken Proceed | Detroit News

A judge in Oakland County has greenlit murder charges against Gary Marken, operations manager at a Troy medical facility, after a five-year-old boy died in a hyperbaric chamber explosion. Despite defense claims that Marken had no authority over safety or medical decisions and lacked intent, prosecutors argue he oversaw critical protocols — including bypassing grounding straps — that led to the tragedy. While Marken’s appeal looms, others face consequences: the CEO’s dismissal request was denied, safety director Jeffrey Mosteller pleaded no contest, and operator Aleta Moffitt faces manslaughter and falsifying records charges. The case continues to unfold as families seek justice for Thomas Cooper. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
