and for Crawford - she has not appeared in the docket site since her last hearing on July 1st - and of course there are no current articles on her case. I am thinking her charges were probably dismissed as Jacobs were.
@Seattle1 - you are good at finding things - anything on Crawford's case? TIA if you can find something!
Brook Crawford was arrested June 2023 but her charges were dismissed by August. The Magistrate said there was insufficient evidence to proceed but I think the dismissal happened around the same time DA Stanley was recorded making disparaging comments about the baby killer's boyfriend (Jacobs).
To my knowledge, the case against Crawford involving the death of her baby is over and done but the DA's office is reportedly appealing the recent dismissal of the murder charge against Jacobs following his dismissal by Judge Kaitlin Turner (citing outrageous government conduct). I hope the appeal is successful given Jacobs barely made it 6 weeks since charges dismissed before assaulting Crawford and the person who came to her aid when the victim saw Jacobs chocking Crawford. IMO, sanctioning the DA should never include letting a baby killer walk! MOO

A Fremont County magistrate has ruled that there was not sufficient evidence to bind over a felony child abuse charge against the mother of a 10-month-old baby who died May 21 after he allegedly was abused by his caregiver.
Brook N. Crawford, 20, was arrested in June in connection with the death of her 10-month-old son, Edward Hayes, who died May 23 after he allegedly was abused by William Jacobs, 21, Crawford’s live-in boyfriend. Jacobs has formally been charged with first-degree murder.
Magistrate Colette LeBeau issued her order Aug. 28, dismissing Count 1, Child Abuse Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, a Class 3 felony, in Crawford’s case.
[..]
The brief states that Crawford consciously disregarded the substantial risk that Edward would continue to suffer at Jacobs’ hands.
The defense’s brief submitted to the court Aug. 7 states that the DA’s inference that Crawford knew or was aware of a threat of injury to the life or health of her son is without evidentiary basis.
The brief states that the testimony during the preliminary hearing established that Crawford did not cause any injuries to the baby; that Crawford was at work May 21 when any injuries occurred to her son; that at the time of any such injuries, Edward was in the sole care of Jacobs; that any injuries sustained by Edward prior to May 21 were also caused by Jacobs; and that none of the injuries sustained by the baby prior to May 21 resulted in serious bodily injury or the subsequent death of the baby.
“The people did not present testimony at the preliminary hearing, and they do not argue in their brief that Ms. Crawford caused any injury to the life or health of the or that Ms. Crawford engaged in a continued pattern of conduct that resulted in malnourishment, lack of proper medical care, or cruel punishment resulting in serious bodily injury (SBI),” LeBeau’s order states.
