A 30-year-old Pennsylvania woman who had locked her boyfriend's four-year-old daughter in the back seat of a car on a searing day in July 2016 and caused her death has been cleared of her numerous charges by a jury and ordered to pay a grand total of $25 in fines.

According to the Daily Mail, the court heard of how on the morning of July 22, 2016, the then-28-year-old Renee Borgess dropped her two-year-old son Isaac off at his daycare center in Williamsport and then drove to work. In doing so, she forgot to drop off her boyfriend's daughter, Samaria, to her own daycare and left her inside the SUV at the rear of a downtown business where there was no shade.
