Woman charged in toddler’s death surrenders to court
The former day care worker who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of a toddler surrendered to authorities in District Court today.
Alica Wegner turned herself in at Judge Michelle Leavitt’s courtroom this morning. She was facing a retrial in the death of 14-month-old Kierra Harrison, a toddler who died two days after being in Wegner’s care.
Authorities said Kierra died from blunt force trauma.
