PITTSBURGH — Jurors reached a verdict Tuesday in the trial for Jhenia Pratt, 23, who was charged with homicide after an 18-month-old baby died from ingesting fentanyl.
Pratt was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of children. She was not guilty on charges of first and third-degree murder.
The charges stem from an April 2018 incident when police responded to an East Hills apartment for a report of a baby who was not breathing.
