MI v Poole – Victim: Allison Newman
Case Background
During the early morning hours of September 21, 2006 a 911 call was made from the Poole home requesting assistance because a child was non-responsive. When emergency personnel arrived they found Carol Poole there with an unresponsive toddler. Allison was transported to a local hospital and then air-lifted to another hospital due to the seriousness of her injuries.
Allison sustained a large skull fracture and her brain was beginning to swell. After her transfer to the other hospital it was determined Allison could not be saved; she was removed from life support on September 22, 2006.
Carol Poole was questioned by detectives about the events that led up to Allison’s injuries and the subsequent 911 call.
MI v Adams-Rogers – Victim: Isaac Lethbridge
The Trial
The case was handed to the jury this afternoon. During closing arguments the defense tried to portray Charlsie as a devoted foster mother and a good person. The prosecution countered with it is up to a higher authority to determine if Charlsie is a good or bad person – the decision in front of the jury is to determine whether Charlsie failed to protect Isaac from being abused and murdered while under her care.
At this point, no one has been charged with Isaac’s murder. Charlsie Adams-Rogers claims her then 12-year-old adopted daughter is the one responsible for Isaac’s injuries.
