Pre-Trial Conference Outcome

At the pre-trial conference today, the daycare provider's lawyer informed the judge and the prosecuter that the defendant intends to plead guilty to the charge of Felony Child Abuse Resulting in Death.

The date for the defendant to enter her plea has been set for September 28.

The judge's decision

I got a call from the County Attorney's office today letting me know that the judge has made his decision and that he has found the defendant's statement to the investigators to be admissible. At this time, I have not read the decision, so I don't have any other details to report.

Since this was the last of the pre-trial motions filed, the next step is a pre-trial conference between the attorneys and the judge. That is scheduled for the afternoon of August 16.

As always, I will post updates here when I have them.
