I just listened to this case and itās one of the few times I feel like something was mentioned briefly but we were left hanging.
A quick google search didnāt help, does anyone know more about this case?
I still have two big questionsā¦
Itās mentioned multiple times Bradley was self medicating but was that occurring while he was living with Penny or did he get clean prior to them moving in together? Obvs, with her working two jobs, it wouldnāt have been hard for him to conceal that from her. Iām just curious if it was determined he was under the influence of anything at the time?
Itās mentioned the neighbors noticed he left Madison alone and unattended for several hours in the late afternoon. (I canāt fathom not calling the police right away bc I would not have gone back to my own home until the cops were there unless I took the baby with me⦠)but aside from that, was there ever any more info about this made public? Where did he go? Had this happened before, according to these neighbors?
That part really bothers me. Madison was a baby. Itās never okay to leave a baby unattended for hours. I guess because he plead guilty, we didnāt hear answers to as many questions as we would have during a trial.
I just wish we did know more about the neighborsā statement. Where I am from (small town), even if you donāt call the cops for any reason - you also donāt leave a baby alone after checking on it and confirming sheās alone. If someone had let her Penny know, Madison could have been saved.
