Meghann, Nancy Grace To Discuss Case

A 25-year-old baby sitter accused of murder declined to speak with investigators after her arrest Friday and has asked for an attorney.  Amanda L. Skogen has no criminal history and was never suspected of abuse before 3-year-old Cohen Johnson suffered a traumatic head injury that led to his death last week. Cohen died at Spokane hospital Friday and Skogen, a family friend who had been watching the boy since June, was arrested on a first-degree murder charge. She’s being held without bail at the Kootenai County Jail and is expected to appear in court Tuesday. (I’ll be talking to TV pundit Nancy Grace about the case tonight at 5:30 p.m. Here’s a clip from my previous appearance.)
