ORD, Neb. (AP) — A North Loup woman charged in the death of her 4-week-old baby has pleaded not guilty.
24-year-old Jocelyn Nordin entered the plea Tuesday at a hearing in Valley County District Court. She is charged with intentional child abuse resulting in death.
Prosecutors say Nordin called 911 on May 2 and reported that her baby wasn’t breathing. The baby eventually was flown to an Omaha hospital, where she died on May 9.
Doctors say the infant had suffered a broken skull and other injuries. Authorities say the baby had been dropped on her head twice and violently shaken.
