Overview
- Jessica Quintana, 39, faces two counts of injury to a child causing bodily injury and one count of assault causing bodily injury, with bond set at $1 million per charge.
- Court documents state she instructed her children to ingest NyQuil with alcohol until they felt "fuzzy" before she intended to roll them into a pond.
- Medical results cited in filings report a .187 BAC for the 15-year-old, a .125 BAC and 21.8 acetaminophen level for the 11-year-old, and a 28.1 acetaminophen level for the 6-year-old.
- District Attorney Jennifer Bergman said the evidence supports the charges, addressed misinformation circulating about the case, and stated the children’s father will not be charged in the alleged plot.
- The children remain in Child Protective Services custody as parallel inquiries continue, including the suspension of a Liberty police lieutenant over an unauthorized jail visit to the father on an unrelated case.
