Ector County D.A. Says Death Accidental, No Charges For Parents
Ector County District Attorney, Bobby Bland, issues the following statement:
On March 18, 2013 the Grand Jury fully considered the events and evidence surrounding the death of Max Shatto. After a thorough review and consideration, the Grand Jury returned No Bills against Laura and Alan Shatto, meaning that there was no evidence to establish that they had committed any crime with respect to the death of Max Shatto. This death was the result of a tragic accident occurring most likely on playground equipment. Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland says “When a child dies so young and tragically, it is natural to want to hold someone accountable. However, in this case, there is no evidence to support holding anybody criminally responsible.”
