A mother whose young daughter died after she was thrown from the back of a pickup truck has been found NOT guilty of felony child abuse and neglect.
[Double Boxes=Keith and David/Microwave]
David Johnson was in Montgomery County Circuit Court today for the trial of Treca (Tree-Suh) Anders Rentch (Wrench).
He's in our New River Valley Newsroom.

Keith, after two and a half hours of testimony, Judge Ray Grubbs needed just 20 minutes to decide the evidence only supported the notion that Treca Rentch had used poor judgment the day her daughter was killed, and was not guilty of neglect.

Two weeks ago, the driver Chris Fisher was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, D-U-I and possession of marijuana.

Judge Grubbs apparently agreed, stating there was no evidence that Rentch knew Fisher was under the influence of alcohol or that Rentch had jeopardized her children's safety by allowing her children to ride in back of the truck.
[Double Boxes=Keith and David/Microwave]
Keith, Rentch says she's learned from her mistake--mainly how dangerous it is to put a person in the back of a pick-up truck and that she supports legislation that would outlaw any such activity.

[GRAPHIC=Abortion]
Virginia's newest abortion law is skating on thin ice.
A ban on so-called partial birth abortions is scheduled to take effect July first.
Today, a federal judge in Richmond pressured the attorney general's office to agree in theory on a partial injunction -- to guarantee that NO so-called "conventional" abortion would be prosecuted.

Keith, the hearing is reconvening at this hour.

Indeed Judge Payne's own comments and questions were full of skepticism, "If your expert can't figure out what's covered and what's not, I can't write that off to good lawyering..."
"She left me with the distinct impression that it's a very confusing proposition... Why on earth doesn't that qualify for vagueness?"

The United Methodist Church has about 12- hundred congregations in Virginia.. its delegates met in Roanoke over the weekend.
The ban would affect the denomination's five Virginia schools including Randolph Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg and Ferrum College in Franklin County.
Randolph Macon officials say they haven't had time to discuss the request and it's too early to say whether the school will comply.
