(KAIR)--A 24-year-old Atchison woman, accused of the 2023 endangerment and death of a one-year-old child under her care, has been found guilty.

That decision was reached Tuesday by a Leavenworth County District Court Jury who found Liberti Figueroa guilty of two counts of aggravated endangering a child. Her conviction followed a two-day jury trial in Leavenworth County District Court. The jury acquitted her of involuntary manslaughter.

That's according to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, who says sentencing for Figueroa, in a Leavenworth County courtroom, is set for the afternoon of September 19.

According to the release, the charges stemmed from two incidents which involved the same child, including response from first responders on September 20, 2023 to a Leavenworth apartment where the child suffered burns, with Figueroa telling investigators it happened due to a tipped-over ashtray. She was, in February this year, charged with aggravated endangering a child in connection with that incident.

The second occurred the next month when emergency crews were called to the same apartment for a report that a child, the same as in the first case, was not breathing. The one-year-old was transported to a Leavenworth hospital where they were pronounced dead.

Figueroa, investigators learned, had left the child alone with her then-recent boyfriend, who she said "wasn't a very responsible person," with an autopsy revealing the child died from head trauma that caused internal bleeding.

The release explains that while Figueroa was not accused of directly inflicting the injuries, prosecutors argued that she acted recklessly by causing or permitting a child under the age of 18 to be placed in a situation where the child- life, body, or health was endangered—ultimately resulting in the child- death, and to the charges that led to her conviction.
