The case stems from a Feb. 20, 2006, call from Robert Turner, then 5, to 911 after his mother fell unconscious in her Detroit home. It was later determined that his mother, Sherrill Turner, died of complications of an enlarged heart.
Robert’s father, Robert Yelder, 57, said his son has not recovered from the incident.
“I feel that justice has been done,” Yelder said today. “The family is very happy. My son has been going through a lot. We thank the jury for doing a wonderful job.”
Nichols, 45, testified Thursday that she could not hear Robert on the other end of the line.
The boy called 911 at 5:59 p.m. and reached Nichols telling her, "My mom has passed out."
On the 911 audiotape, Nichols is heard saying, "I'm gonna send the police to your house and find out what's going on with you."
