(KAIR)--Not guilty is the plea entered by a Leavenworth woman accused of the death of her son.
The Leavenworth Times reports 31-year-old Catherine Smith pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder Monday in Leavenworth County District Court.
A trial is now scheduled for January 21.
Smith is charged with reckless second-degree murder stemming from the death of her 19-month-old son in November, 2018.
Authorities don’t believe Smith intentionally killed the child, whose death occurred after Smith allegedly left him in a room where the temperature climbed to more than 90 degrees
Smith is currently free on a bond of $25,000.
