The manslaughter case of an Oak Grove woman was continued in Christian County Circuit Court Wednesday morning after a new attorney entered his appearance.
49-year old Patricia Conyers is charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of her 16-year old daughter on June 26, 2020.
During her appearance before Judge John Atkins, her new attorney Jason Holland requested the case be continued to allow him time to review the discovery. Judge Atkins granted his request and scheduled another pretrial conference for April 13.
Conyers was arrested and charged after Oak Grove Police reported she neglected her 16-year old daughter’s medication as directed and canceled or did not attend scheduled doctor’s appointments. Police said if her daughter’s fatal acute illness had been treated timely and appropriately it would not have led to her death.
