Description:

Grand Island, Nebraska criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charge with attempted intentional child abuse resulting in death.

In August 2016, the 16-month-old child of Rivera-Meister's girlfriend was fatally injured while in Rivera-Meister's care. Rivera-Meister called the 911 emergency dispatch service and told first responders the child fell and struck his head jumping from a bunk bed. Treating doctors opined that the child's injuries were inconsistent with such a fall, and an autopsy concluded the child died from abusive closed head injuries.

Outcome: Defendant pled no contest.

Affirmed on appeal.
