KY grandma charged with reckless homicide - Left grandson in hot car
http://www.kentucky.com/181/story/558932.html Woman pleads not guilty in grandson's car death By Bill Estep LONDON — A woman charged with causing the death of her grandson by leaving him inside a hot vehicle has pleaded not guilty. Linda K. Long, 46, of Corbin, is charged with reckless homicide in the death of Madison Nose, who was 2. The boy died Oct. 10; he spent more than eight hours in a Suzuki SUV. Long was supposed to drop off her grandson at day care but police think she forgot. Dozens of children die in hot cars every year — a total of more than 400 nationally since 1998 — most because caregivers forgot to take them out of vehicles, according to the Web site. There were two similar deaths elsewhere in the United States the same day Madison died, according to ggweather.com. The charge against Long, reckless homicide, does not carry an element of intent. In other words, it's a charge that someone caused the death of another person, but didn't intend to. The charge is a Class D felony punishable by one to five years in prison. (snip) ------------------------------ I say lock her up forever but they won't; just like drunk drivers and speeders who kill kids get off with fines. |
