   Two EMS workers in Illinois are facing first-degree murder   
   charges after a patient died in their care last month, according   
   to the Springfield Police Department.   
      
   Dan Wright, the Sangamon County State's Attorney, charged Peggy   
   Finley and Peter Cadigan for the death of an Illinois man on   
   Dec. 18, 2022, according to criminal complaints.   
      
   The EMS workers were responding to a call for assistance with a   
   patient "suffering from hallucinations due to alcohol   
   withdrawal," the Springfield Police Department said in a   
   statement.   
      
   Finley can be heard yelling at the man, who identified himself   
   as Earl Moore, to sit up and to "quit acting stupid" in the   
   newly released bodycam video.   
      
   Video also shows Finley telling Moore, 35, "We ain't carrying   
   you" and "I am seriously not in the mood for this dumb [stuff],"   
   using an expletive in his remark, before eventually strapping   
   the patient to a stretcher "in a prone position," the police   
   department said.   
      
   According to a press release from the Springfield police,   
   officers attempted to provide Moore care after the EMS workers   
   "acted indifferently to the patient's condition."   
      
   A representative for LifeStar Ambulance Service, Inc., which   
   employs Finley and Cadigan, told ABC News "no comment,"   
   regarding the ongoing investigation.   
      
   Bodycam footage additionally shows police officers attempting to   
   help Moore out of the house and onto the stretcher.   
      
   “The officers took steps to assist the patient, to get him the   
   care he needed, even waiting on the scene to ensure the medical   
   personnel loaded the patient into the ambulance,” Springfield   
   police said in a press release. “The officers, who are not   
   emergency medical professionals, are not trained nor equipped to   
   provide the necessary medical treatment or to transport patients   
   in this type of situation.”   
      
   According to the Springfield Police Department, Moore died after   
   he arrived at the hospital.   
      
   Teresa Haley, president of the Springfield branch of the NAACP,   
   said at a press conference Tuesday held by Wright, that watching   
   the video made her think about George Floyd, the Black   
   Minneapolis man who was murdered by former police officer Derek   
   Chauvin during a May 2020 arrest.   
      
   "They literally threw his hands behind and strapped him down. He   
   couldn't move if he wanted to and he's face down," Haley said.   
   "They did not show any compassion whatsoever to this individual.   
   He should be alive today."   
      
   According to court documents, Finely and Cadigan are being held   
   in the Sangamon County Jail on $1 million bonds.   
      
   Finley and Cadigan did not have attorneys listed that ABC News   
   could contact.   
      
   ABC News' Matt Foster contributed to this report.
