State gets failing grade on March of Dimes report Despite improvement in Kentucky's pre-term birthrate, the state still got a failing grade on the third annual March of Dimes Premature Birth Report Card. The report card released Wednesday showed that in 2008, 14 percent of babies in Kentucky were born too soon, before their lungs, brains or other organs were fully developed. This compares with 15.2 percent in 2007.

Pre-term refers to birth before 37 weeks of gestation. Prematurity is the leading cause of newborn death. Babies who survive often face challenges such as cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities. The March of Dimes lauded Kentucky for lowering its preterm birthrate and reducing the percentage of women of child-bearing age who smoke.

Officials: Mom was smothered, baby burned Child's father held in Indiana killings By Melanie D. Hayes The Indianapolis Star INDIANAPOLIS A 25-year-old mother was smothered before her infant daughter and her apartment were set on fire, according to a court document.

The graphic details are part of the probable-cause affidavit released Tuesday in the case against a Lawrence man who has been arrested and charged with setting the fire and killing his former girlfriend and their infant daughter. Joshwa Carlisle, 22, faces preliminary charges of one count of arson and two counts of murder in the Sept. 19 fire and deaths of Trade Shannon and 9-month-old Juliana Shannon, according to the Lawrence Police Department. Carlisle was arrested Monday and is being held without bond at the Marion County Jail. The victims were found dead in separate bedrooms after firefighters arrived about 6:30 p.m.

The fire was deemed suspicious because a Lawrence fire investigator said there were two points of origin Investigators said one fire left a burn trail on the carpet from the doorway of the master bedroom to where Trade Shannon was found on the floor. A second fire in the child's bedroom was confined to the inside of the crib, the infant and the mattress, according to the affidavit. The Marion County coroner's office determined that Tracie Shannon died from a lack of oxygen, leading investigators to conclude she was smothered before the fire was set, the affidavit said. Juliana, is believed to have been set on fire while she was alive, dying because of smoke inhalation from the fire set on and around her. A zigzag burn on her face and chest appears to be from an accelerant sprayed on her, the affidavit said.

When police went to Carlisle's home, he did not question why they were interviewing him, the affidavit said. He is married but is believed to have had an ongoing relationship with Shannon. Two days after the fire, Carlisle and Carla Scott, Tracie Shannon's mother, went to the coroner's office to identify Juliana's body. "Carla said Joshwa fell against Carla and started to sob and say he was sorry to the photo of Juliana," the affidavit stated.

Family of wins $3.5 Defendant is main suspect in case By Carrie Ritchie The Indianapolis Star INDIANAPOLIS The family of a woman who has been missing for more than six years finally earned a small victory in court. A Marion Superior Court judge ordered John Shelton, a suspect in the 2004 disappearance of Molly Dattilo, of Madison, to pay her family nearly $3.5 million in damages. The ruling Monday was a rarity since it comes in a case in which no criminal charges have been filed.

Still, Dattilo's family says the civil judgment offered them little closure, because whoever is responsible for her disappearance at age 23 might never be charged. And they still don't have a body to bury. "It is one thing to be able to close a casket and say goodbye," said Keri Dattilo, Molly Dattilo's cousin, "and it's another to never know what happened to your loved one." Shortly before the Dattilos won the ruling, they say, the detective handling the criminal case asked them if they would consider meeting with Marion County prosecutors to discuss granting immunity to Shelton if he told CRIME REPORTS Louisville Metro Police filed reports on Wednesday, Nov. 17, for the following major crimes: 40203 Burglary, 900 block of S. 4th Nov.

rior Court Judge David Dreyer ruled against the defendants by default John Shelton in June 2009 and Edward Shelton this past August because they didn't cooperate with the court. Acting as his own attorney, John Shelton, who is in prison on other charges, appealed the default in September. Attorney James C. Spencer, who represents Daniel Hoffman, called that appeal "legally flawed." Dreyer ruled Monday that the Sheltons owe the Dattilos nearly $3.5 million in damages. The Dattilos know they likely will never get the money, but they say the ruling draws attention to Molly's case and John Shelton's alleged involvement.

Police initially dismissed her as a runaway, despite her family's pleas for help, Celestra Hoffman said. The Dattilos organized search parties, publicized the case on billboards and fliers and went to the media, but had no luck finding her. They say they can't move on until they know what happened to her.

Celestra Hoffman, Molly's older sister, said she doesn't understand why prosecutors would offer such a plan, but added, "We're weighing all of our options." Prosecutor Carl Brizzi said through a spokesman Tuesday that he could not confirm that those circumstances had been discussed. For now, the civil judgment shows at least some culpability, the family says, which has encouraged them.

In the lawsuit filed by Molly Dattilo's brother-in-law, Daniel Hoffman, the family claims John Shelton hurt her and likely caused her disappearance. They also claim John Shelton's father, Edward Shelton, played a role in her disappearance. Molly Dattilo met John Shelton through a neighbor at an apartment complex where she was staying with her brother the day she disappeared. She had been taking summer classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. The two went for a rowboat ride on a pond at the complex and then to a Taco Bell.

Dattilo later tried to call a friend from a pay phone at an Indianapolis gas station. No one has heard from her since. In the civil case, Marion Supe- 40211 Robbery, 2700 block of Broadway, Nov. 15. Burglary, 700 block of S.
