AZ - 1 year-old beaten to death by Mom’s boyfriend, Mohave Co, Jan 2022

[Niner]

@Tracie Stevenson - was wondering if you could tell me when the next court date might be? I believe you can access the court site? And may I ask you to be my "go-to" person for this case?

TIA!

@Tracie Stevenson - are you still around? Any updates on this case yet?

TIA!

 

[Niner]

Well - I found the Judge's (Sipe) schedule for tomorrow - and he isn't on it. So if Tracie doesn't get back to me - I guess I'll have to look him up every day....

or if anyone reading here - can access the Mohave County Superior court - his case # is CR2022-00058 - Judge Billy Sipe, Jr.

TIA - if you can find something!

Judge orders new look at 1-year-old's death, rejects January indictment

A 28-year-old Arizona man who was indicted in January after a 1-year-old boy’s death is now waiting to see if a new grand jury will indict him

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A 28-year-old Arizona man who was indicted in January after a 1-year-old boy’s death is now waiting to see if a new grand jury will indict him.


Nikko Demitri McLachlan of Fort Mohave, Arizona, had been accused in the infant’s death in what his attorney describes as a “rush to indict.”


Phoenix attorney Shannon Peters said her client is no longer in custody, and the judge in the case is questioning whether there was even a crime committed in the boy’s death.
[.....]
The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office told investigators that the child died due to an extensive brain injury, but the facts surrounding that injury are now in question.
[.....]
The case was remanded to a new grand jury on Friday, Sept. 23, by Judge Billy K. Sipe, Jr. of the Mohave County Superior Court.

Sipe specified at the evidentiary hearing that if the grand jury does not indict McLachlan within 15 days of Friday’s hearing, he will dismiss the case without prejudice. A status conference in the case is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 7.

IMHO This is nasty any way you look at it. This poor little boy, if not harmed by the boyfriend, was apparently not well and possibly not well taken care of. I'm not a highly righteous individual but I simply cannot wrap my head around abuse and murder of and child.

Murder charges dismissed in January death of 1-year-old boy

Charges have been dropped against a 28-year-old Arizona man who had been accused in the January death of a 1-year-old boy.

www.8newsnow.com

Oct. 13, 2022
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Charges have been dropped against a 28-year-old man who had been accused in the January death of a 1-year-old boy.


Nikko McLachlan could still be prosecuted if charges are refiled, according to court documents.


Charges were dismissed “without prejudice” on Oct. 6 after Arizona Superior Court Judge Billy K. Sipe, Jr. questioned whether a crime had even been committed. The 1-year-old son of McLachlan’s girlfriend died in a Las Vegas hospital three days after police found McLachlan giving CPR to the child.
[.....]
The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office told investigators that the child died due to an extensive brain injury, but the facts surrounding that injury are now in question.
[......]
Felony charges of first-degree murder by domestic violence, child abuse by domestic violence and second-degree murder were dismissed the week after Sipe remanded the case to a Mohave County grand jury.


McLachlan’s attorney, Shannon Peters, said the indictment relied on false statements from the lead investigator in the case, who got information from a nurse that no one can identify now.
[.....]
According to Arizona media reports, McLachlan has left the state and now lives in California.
