Southeastern Ky. Mother Charged With Murder
Two days after Laurel County toddler, 23-month-old Stephen Troy, was found unresponsive inside an East Bernstadt home, Kentucky State Police filed murder and first-degree criminal abuse charges against his mother, 21 year old Amanda Johnson. Troy died one hour after being transported to St. Joseph Hospital in London Friday morning. The Laurel County Coroner ruled he died of blunt force trauma to the abdomen. Johnson was held in the Laurel County Jail on a $250,000 bond after pleading not guilty Monday (today).
