MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 42-year-old daycare provider who was charged in the death of an 8-month-old child was found not guilty Thursday, according to her attorney.
Defense attorney Earl Gray said a jury found Salli Deen Schultz, of Lindstrom, not guilty of two counts: second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter.
The trial lasted for about two weeks, and the jury deliberated for about three hours, Gray said.
Schultz faced charges after the death of Brooke Elizabeth Kowarsch.
