Retrial date set for Portales daycare owners charged with child's death
PORTALES, N.M. (KRQE) – A retrial date has been set for two Portales daycare owners who were charged with a child's hot car death.
Mary and Sandi Taylor were initially convicted of reckless child abuse in 2019 after leaving the two children in a hot car for nearly three hours in 2017. As a result, one of those children died, and the other suffered severe brain damage as a result.
