@thenieveslawfirm: As Timothy Hauschultz’s trial moves toward closing arguments, one of the key questions for the jury may be how much responsibility an adult bears when a child is placed in the care of a young and potentially unfit supervisor. Prosecutors argue that Hauschultz ordered the punishment that ultimately led to 7-year-old Ethan Hauschultz’s death. The defense, meanwhile, can argue that Damian acted independently and went far beyond what he was instructed to do. Jo-Anna Nieves breaks down the competing arguments, including whether Timothy should have recognized the warning signs and known that leaving the children in Damian’s care could put them at risk. With both sides now resting their cases and Hauschultz choosing not to testify, the jury will ultimately have to decide where responsibility lies. #TimothyHauschultz #EthanHauschultz #CriminalDefense #TrueCrime #CourtTV #LegalAnalysis #Trial #CriminalTrial
