The Canonsburg couple that are charged with the death of their three month old daughter had their preliminary hearing on Friday. James May, 31 and Shannon McKnight, 23 are facing identical charges of criminal homicide, endangering the welfare of children and reckless endangerment along with two drug possession charges. The nearly two hour hearing had the district attorney and both defense attorneys disagreeing over whether criminal homicide is an appropriate charge in this case. Public Defender Glenn Alterio questioned Coroner Timothy Warco over his determination that the death of the three month old was homicide and not something else such as accidental death. District Attorney Jason Walsh argued that parents ingesting fentanyl in the same bed as their children is nothing less that reckless. May and McKnight called an ambulance when they found their infant daughter without response on August 11. Their older child was taken to Children’s Hospital where it was determined he had drugs in his system. Testimony in the hearing showed that the parents did not attend their child’s funeral. They were found and taken into custody on August 19 hiding in the rafters of a Canton Township home. District Justice James Saieva held all charges for court. May and McKnight remain in the Washington County Jail without bond.
