Trial Set For Women Accused Of Neglecting 90-Year-Old Grandmother

A jury trial has been reset for a Redding woman and her daughter charged with murder for the death by neglect of their 90-year-old matriarch. Dorothy Havens died in may of 2015 the day after Redding Fire personnel responded to her Tidmore Lane home because she was having difficulty breathing. Neglect was suspected to be at the root of her medical troubles. She had apparently been in bed for about 6 months and was in terrible condition as a result of not being cared for. Dorothy’s daughter, Kathryn Havens, and her grand-daughter, Amanda Havens, were responsible for Dorothy’s care. They never sought medical attention for the suffering old woman, and apparently never even really touched her. Kathryn was initially charged with murder and a murder charge was later added for Amanda. Their trial is now set for August 15th.
