PORTLAND, Ore. -- A jury has convicted a former nursing home supervisor of criminal mistreatment for waiting too long to get medical help for a patient who was dropped while being transferred from a wheelchair to her bed.

Jurors also found a certified nursing assistant guilty of reckless endangerment for haphazardly placing patient Linda Ober in a sling, causing her to fall in October 2006.

The 60-year-old Ober broke both her legs and died less than a week later.

The supervisor, 59-year-old Suzanne Ruddell, waited five days before ordering an X-ray.

The attorney for the 53-year-old nursing assistant, Cammy Nye, argued she had 22 patients to tend on the day Ober began to slip out of the sling.

Nye and Ruddell will be sentenced Friday.
