"Richland nanny Kelli Jacobsen was found guilty Wednesday of second-degree manslaughter. The jury of eight men and four women acquitted her of the more serious charge of first-degree manslaughter in the 2011 death of Ryder Morrison. It was her second trial on the charges after her first ended in a hung jury two years ago.........Doctors have said Ryder’s death on June 22, 2011, happened minutes or possibly up to 24 hours before he was rushed to the hospital. His mother, Tawney Johnson, stopped home during her half-hour lunch break but was back at work when she got the call her son was going to Kadlec. He died on the operating table a day after his first birthday. Benton County Prosecutor Andy Miller had argued to jurors that Jacobsen gave different stories after Ryder was injured. She has claimed he fell a short distance while playing on a toy. Her attorney Shane Silverthorn told the jury said she was in shock and panicked, so her stories may have sounded slightly different. And he suggested that someone else who had access to Ryder in the hours before he died abused the boy."
