Overview
- A jury found Kelle Anne Brassart guilty of second-degree murder and felony child endangerment; sentencing is set for Feb. 5 with a potential term of 15 years to life.
- Investigators recorded a 0.246% blood alcohol level and found empty and full liquor bottles throughout the home.
- Prosecutors said Brassart spent about 45 minutes on her phone messaging men she met on dating apps while her 2-year-old was left unattended.
- Surveillance and case evidence showed the child was alone outside before entering the pool, and authorities said Brassart stayed inside without attempting a rescue.
- Her claim of being confined to a wheelchair was contradicted by video of her walking, standing and driving, and a probation allegation for prior child abuse was found true with a prior medication-ingestion hospitalization presented.
