Karla Espinal, a mother from East New York, has been indicted on charges related to the death of her 6-year-old daughter, Madeline, found unresponsive in a bathtub. The district attorney argues that Espinal intentionally submerged her daughter, leading to her death. Emergency responders were called after the child's father discovered her situation. With a pending investigation by the Medical Examiner, the case could evolve further. Espinal is currently held without bail and is set to return to court in May, amidst ongoing community concerns about child welfare and safety.
Karla Espinal, 26, has been indicted for the death of her 6-year-old daughter Madeline, who was found unresponsive in a bathtub in February.
Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez described the case as "distressing and unspeakable," as they investigate to ensure the defendant is held accountable.
The court has ordered Espinal to be held without bail, and she is scheduled to return for a subsequent hearing on May 15.
The Medical Examiner's investigation into the cause and manner of Madeline's death may alter the charges faced by Espinal.
