2 Massachusetts workers get probation in murky pool case
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two former Massachusetts recreation managers have admitted that prosecutors have enough evidence to convict them of reckless endangerment of a child for opening a murky state-run pool where the body of a drowned woman went unnoticed for two days.
Brian Shanahan and Jeff Carter both admitted to sufficient facts in court Tuesday. Their cases were continued without a finding for a year. If they are not convicted of any new crimes during that probationary period, the charges will be dropped.
The body of 36-year-old Marie Joseph was found June 28, two days after she was reported missing while swimming at the Lafayette Park pool in Fall River.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}No charges were filed in her death. Shanahan and Carter were charged with reckless endangerment of a child, a misdemeanor, for opening the pool for two days after Joseph's death.
