An Ottumwa woman accused of murdering her 5-year-old daughter has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, rather than murder.  Kelsie Thomas was arrested in July 2018 after her daughter, Cloe Chandler, was found dead at the family home.  Earlier this year, a Wapello County jury could not reach a verdict on whether Thomas was guilty of first degree murder.  In her retrial, Thomas asked that a judge decide on her guilt or innocence, rather than a jury.  Judge Lucy Gamon ruled Thursday (11/5) that there was no evidence of malice before the killing.  Premeditation is a requirement for a first degree murder conviction.  Thomas will be sentenced in January.
