Phila. Social Workers on Trial for Fraud in Danieal Kelly's Death
by KYW's Tony Hanson
A federal trial is underway in Philadelphia for four people charged with fraud linked to the starvation death of 14-year-old Danieal Kelly in 2006.
The defense cautioned the jurors this is not a murder case -- and suggested the evidence won't support the fraud charges.
MultiEthnic Behavioral Health had contracted with the city of Philadelphia to provide social services to serve as the safety net for children at risk of neglect, abuse, and delinquency.
But prosecutor Vineet Gauri says the defendants, supervisors, and employees at MultiEthnic stole money and did not make required family visits -- and all the while, a young life was tragically lost.
