DEFENSE ATTORNEY FOR FORMER SCOTTDALE DAYCARE WORKER SAYS VIDEO MAY EXONERATE HIS CLIENT

The defense attorney for a former Scottdale daycare worker accused of assaulting a child says that surveillance video from the center may exonerate his client.  The Trib reports that 58-year-old Krista Ondish waived her preliminary hearing yesterday.  She faces charges of aggravated and simple assault along with child endangerment for an incident on September 5th where she allegedly shoved a child to the ground and allowing another to hit the child as a disciplinary action.  Attorney Tim Andrews, who is representing Ondish, said that his client had no intention of harming anyone that day.  Ondish is free on $50,000 bail.
