Mother facing charges for the death of her daughter has trial moved to December

Stayce Riley signed a time waiver to move her trial back to December. Riley is charged with Endangering Children and Involuntary Manslaughter after her 4-year-old daughter Ma'Laya Dewitt was found unresponsive by Lima Police on April 12th. Dewitt was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. A pathologist says her injuries were a week old and could have been the result of being punched by Riley's then-boyfriend, Romiere Hale. He is facing murder and other charges for Dewitt’s death.
