An Alabama judge has ruled that there was no probable cause to support the charge against Katerra Lewis, 26, whose daughter, Kelci, was killed in October while in the care of an 8-year-old.
An Alabama mother has been cleared of a reckless manslaughter charge after police said her infant daughter was beaten to death by an eight-year-old boy left to look after her while she and a friend were at a club.
Jefferson County District Court Judge Shelly Watkins said in an order filed Thursday that probable cause doesn’t exist to support the charge against 26-year-old Katerra Lewis.
Police have said Lewis and a friend left the 8-year-old boy to babysit five younger children while they went out in October.
