  • đź”´ Parents get pre-trial intervention program agreement
  • đź”´ Baby girl dies from skull fractures and brain bleed
  • đź”´ Judge suppressed evidence from text messages

*** begin quote ***

A former police officer and teacher charged in the death of their infant daughter have reached an agreement with Mercer County prosecutors that avoids any time in prison.

*** and ***

Prosecutors said that Daniel Bannister, a police officer in Ewing at the time, hurt his daughter. Catherine Bannister was accused of knowing about the abuse, covering it up, and not getting her daughter help until it was too late.

Judge suppressed evidence from text messages

*** end quote ***

I hope someone explains WHY the text messages were suppressed.  Seems like very relevant information.  

If there is not a great explanation, then the deal should be revoked and the Judge “retired”.

Argh!  Very sad.  How little human life is regarded in our society.
