@clearskies1 - the State is actually Georgia - not Washington {State} - maybe have a mod change that for you. It is Washington County in Georgia.
Unfortunately, I won't be following this one - no access to court site.

Baby dies after being wrapped in wet blanket and placed in front of air conditioner, authorities say

The baby's mother is among the three people charged with his death.

What a shocking contrast to the death of 2 year old Parker whose father left her in her car seat, in the car when it was 109* out so he could play video games. 3 people have been arrested in GA for leaving baby Josiah in his car seat, wrapped in a wet blanket in front of the AC.

Wrapped in a wet blanket, and in his car seat.

The question is, did they do that to try to cool down the baby if he had a fever? If so, to set the unit to 61 °F was far too low, and to place him in a car seat was stupidity.
