Case Of Laurel Co. Mother Headed To Grand Jury
A Laurel County mother is headed to the grand jury after being accused of abusing her 23 month old son to the point that he died as the result of blunt force trauma to the abdomen. Twenty-one year old Amanda Johnson took her son, Stephen Troy, to St. Joseph Hospital in London where he died one hour later. During a hearing Tuesday, a KSP detective testified Johnson's boyfriend and the father, Michael Troy, told him he had witnessed Johnson throwing the boy onto a couch and punching him in the back while she was angry. Stephen Troy had bruises on his back and fractures to his left leg. Amanda Johnson has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and criminal abuse.
