Independence, MO —
A jury trial has been scheduled for the Grain Valley couple whose child lost seven fingers in a pet ferret attack.
The trial has been scheduled for Ryan and Carrie Waldo on June 11 in Circuit Court before Judge Michael Manners in Independence.
The couple appeared in court on Friday for a hearing, though no public statements were made.
Attorneys and defendants offered no comment after the hearing.
The Waldos are charged with first-degree child endangerment of their 4-month-old son. They pleaded not guilty in June 2011, and all four children, including the victim, have been living with a relative.
The attack occurred on Jan. 10, 2011. Police discovered the boy with only two thumbs and part of a pinkie finger remaining.
The Waldos told detectives they were at home asleep in separate rooms that morning, and were awakened by the child’s screams.
But an investigation into the incident revealed that the parents were not at home when the attack occurred. Police subpoenaed cell phone records to determine their whereabouts.
