I would hope that police already ruled out the parents prior to charging NV. NV admitted to LK’s injury happening while in her care, and the parents were not home. Her defense may try to say another injury happened earlier while LK was with his parents, but I doubt they will try that approach. Blaming the parents wouldn’t sit well with a jury. If anything, defense will likely argue for it having been an accidental injury.Bolded by me
I would agree that would be far more likely, than going back to investigate and charge the parents.
