Oceanside drug addict loses third child
Kelsey Shande Carpenter, 32, listened to evidence against her at a pre-trial hearing yesterday, Sept 26, with her mom seated behind her in the gallery. An Oceanside police detective testified that emergency responders found meth and black tar heroin in Kelsey’s apartment. The detective said he was able to recover text messages from Kelsey’s cell phones, she apparently texted to many people for the 12 hours before her dead baby was found. Kelsey allegedly cursed and complained and blamed everyone for her troubles; she especially messaged about her painful labor, and some of her alleged demands included: I need pain support. I need something for the pain. OMG I am freaking. I have no pain medication. Please get fentanyl, they won’t test for it. I need an opiate, this is the most pain I have been in my life. One man with whom she communicated finally texted back: “You blame me for you’re problems… you’re not the victim.” Her defense attorney suggested that Kelsey collapsed from exhaustion and then woke up and her baby was dead. Hon. judge Kelly Mok ordered Kelsey to answer one first degree murder charge, and felony child endangerment causing death. The defendant is currently at liberty, and has a bail review hearing set for 1:30 p.m. on October 26 in dept 24 before the same judge Kelly Mok who heard evidence yesterday.

Oceanside drug addict loses third child
Kelsey Shande Carpenter, 32, listened to evidence against her at a pre-trial hearing yesterday, Sept 26, with her mom seated behind her in the gallery. An Oceanside police detective testified that emergency responders found meth and black tar heroin in Kelsey’s apartment. The detective said he was able to recover text messages from Kelsey’s cell phones, she apparently texted to many people for the 12 hours before her dead baby was found. Kelsey allegedly cursed and complained and blamed everyone for her troubles; she especially messaged about her painful labor, and some of her alleged demands included: I need pain support. I need something for the pain. OMG I am freaking. I have no pain medication. Please get fentanyl, they won’t test for it. I need an opiate, this is the most pain I have been in my life. One man with whom she communicated finally texted back: “You blame me for you’re problems… you’re not the victim.” Her defense attorney suggested that Kelsey collapsed from exhaustion and then woke up and her baby was dead. Hon. judge Kelly Mok ordered Kelsey to answer one first degree murder charge, and felony child endangerment causing death. The defendant is currently at liberty, and has a bail review hearing set for 1:30 p.m. on October 26 in dept 24 before the same judge Kelly Mok who heard evidence yesterday.— September 27, 2022 4:13 p.m.
