A McKenzie County woman pleaded not guilty Thursday to a manslaughter charge tied to the May death of her 7-year-old daughter. The case is now moving through the criminal court system after the child died from a medical condition that was allegedly left untreated.
What happened in court Thursday?
The basic court development was limited to the woman’s not guilty plea. The woman has not been identified in the information provided, and no further details from the hearing were included.
What is the charge tied to the child’s death?
The manslaughter charge is linked to the allegation that the girl’s medical condition was not treated. The available information does not go beyond that point, and it does not provide a broader account of the circumstances surrounding the death.
For now, the key development is the plea itself. It confirms that the case has entered the next stage, with the allegation centered on an untreated medical condition and the death of a 7-year-old child in May.
