Man, Women Plead Not Guilty in Child’s Death
From Staff and Wire Reports
The patriarch of a 13-child family and three of the four women he lived with pleaded innocent to charges that they let one child starve and severely neglected the other children.
Prosecutors allege the five defendants ran a house in which ill-fed children were beaten and neglected, culminating in the death of the 19-month-old boy.
Winnfred Wright and Mary Campbell, Kali Polk-Matthews and Dierdre Wilson pleaded innocent. The fourth woman, Carol Bremner, was in the hospital for leukemia treatment.
