A woman found guilty of neglect in the 2016 infant death of her best friend's baby has been released from custody but could face a new trial.Tricia Woodworth was to be sentenced Wednesday in a Lake County Indiana courtroom. However, instead, she was released from custody Tuesday and she could face a new trial after the death of baby Maci Moor."I think all of us were in awe. I just felt empty. I thought how can this be," said Maci's great aunt, Brenda Crook.
Meanwhile, the baby's family, who are already frustrated with the pace of justice after waiting years for the trial, is waiting again. "There's clearly no winner in this situation. Nobody wins. Not only did we lose our granddaughter, Megan and Ryan lost their child. Megan and Tricia were best friends," Kerwin said. "It's torn apart the community."
"Nothing will bring that little girl back into our lives, nothing in this world will bring that little girl back but she did deserve justice," Crook added. The Lake County prosecutor's office is expected to appeal Tuesday's ruling but the office would not comment on a pending case.
