(KNZA)--A reduced charge has been filed against a Holton woman in connection with the November 2015 death of her infant son.
The Holton Recorder reports an amended complaint has been filed in Jackson County District Court charging 32-year-old Alicia Whipple-Decker with attempted first-degree murder.
Whipple-Decker had originally been charged with first-degree murder.
The reduced charge comes after the recent discovery of new information in the case.
An April 13th preliminary hearing has been set on the new charge.
Whipple-Decker remains free on a $100,000 personal recognizance bond after a judge granted a request by her attorney January 26th for a bond reduction.
