Today on KMOX, I talked with John Shelhorse, attorney for Delea Payne, the daycare center driver who was arrested after leaving a 3-year-old boy in a van outside the St. Louis Science Center earlier this month on a field trip.
Shelhorse explained what happened on August 7th, and how the boy was left behind. The case has gotten renewed attention because of last week's death of a 7-month-old boy left in a car by his parents, who were not arrested.
Shelhorse says it's not fair that his client, a black day care center employee, has been charged with a crime while the parents of Sophia Knutsen, who are white medical professionals, have not. He's not advocating that they go to jail, but also doesn't think his client should be prosecuted when the boy turned out to be unharmed.
Listen.
