A woman convicted in the death of a 19-month-old child more than a decade ago should be acquitted, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled.
Tammy Bouvette was charged with second-degree murder but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of criminal negligence after the 19-month-old girl she had been babysitting drowned in a bathtub in 2011 in Cranbrook, B.C. She was sentenced to 12 years in jail and probation.
