Eudora woman will face new trial in day care death case

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas woman accused in the death of a 9-month-old at a day care where she worked will face another trial, despite a Kansas Supreme Court decision to let a ruling reversing her conviction stand. The Douglas County District Attorney’s Office said Friday it plans to retry Carrody Buchhorn in the 2016 death of Oliver Ortiz at a home day care in Eudora. The Supreme Court announced Friday that it would let an appeals court ruling reversing Buchhorn’s conviction stand. The six justices who heard the case were equally divided on Buchhorn’s appeal, which alleged she was convicted because of ineffective counsel in her first trial.
