Z-ville Doctor Changes Plea to No Contest

One of two Zanesville Doctors who were charged with failure to report the treatment of a gunshot wound has changed his plea. Dr. James Gasparine, who earlier pleaded not guilty in the case, Tuesday changed his plea to No Contest. Visiting retired Judge Linton Lewis sentenced Dr. Gasparine to 60 days in jail which was suspended, a 750 dollar fine, 75 dollars in court costs, 50 hours of community service and two years of community control. The two doctors were each facing charges in connection to treating the gunshot wound of Josh Daniels after he attempted to commit an armed robbery in 2012. Dr. Samuel Finck, who had plead not guilty, is scheduled for a jury trial in Zanesville Municipal Court on August 3rd and 4th.
