POTOSI, Mo. (AP) — A 22-year-old eastern Missouri woman will go to trial on charges related to the death of her 17-month-old daughter. A judge ruled Tuesday that the case against Jaimee Kelly Scott of rural Bismarck could move forward. Arraignment will be July 20. She is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.The child's father, 21-year-old Ricardo Medina, is charged with abuse of a child resulting in death. Authorities were called on April 1 and told the child had been seriously injured and taken to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis. She died a few days later at the hospital. Scott's attorney said during Tuesday's hearing that the woman was herself abused and tried to stop Medina from hurting the child.
