"The fate of a former Richland nanny is now in the hands of a jury. Attorneys made their closing arguments Tuesday in the aggravated manslaughter trial of Kelli Jacobsen.  Jacobsen is accused of killing one-year old Ryder Morrison four years ago. The child was in her care in the hours before he died of massive head trauma. The prosecution set out to prove that only Jacobsen could have been responsible for injury. The defense argues that someone else could have been responsible. In his closing statement, defense attorney Shane Silverthorn said one witness testified that Ryder's mother, Tawny Johnson, was irritated with Ryder the night before. Doctors said Ryder's injury could have been caused by violent shaking, the question is by whom......... But the prosecutor argues Tawny Johnson was consistent in her story after Ryder's death. But, Kelli Jacobsen changed her story no less that six times..........Doctors testified the child had previous broken bones and 22 bruises when he arrived at the hospital. This is Jacobsen's second trial. Her first trial in 2013 ended in a hung jury. The jury continues deliberating tomorrow."

See NBC report: "This is the second time both Ryder's family and Jacobsen's have had to sit through a trial. The first time, two years ago, the jury couldn't reach a unanimous decision. Now, that long road is finally nearing its end. "Kelli's telling the ER, I was in the kitchen, I was preparing something, I heard a thud and came out and Ryder was on the ground and he was  unresponsive," said (defence lawyer Shane) Silverthorne. "There's no allegation that the defendant wanted Ryder to die. There's no allegation either that the defendant even wanted to hurt Ryder," said (prosecutor Andy) Miller. The jury is out and they will now have to decide whether Jacobsen is guilty of somehow causing a severe head injury that led to the little boy's death."
