Pike County Mother Getting New Trial
Less than two years after being convicted of second-degree manslaughter, in connection to the July 10,2005 drowning death of her four year old son Joshua Justice, Rhonda Justice has been released after posting 10% of a $10,000 bond, while she awaits a second trial. Her conviction was overturned in March when the Kentucky Court of Appeals determined the original trial erred when testimony, detailing her prior bad habits, was allowed to be entered. Investigators say her son drowned in a neighbor's pool on Vanover Lane located near Pikeville. A pretrial conference is set for November 6th.
