Parmelee Woman Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter
Kamelia Ione No Moccasin, a 28-year-old woman from Parmelee, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in a federal indictment. The charge stems from an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.
No Moccasin was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 16, 2013, and appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on January 24, 2013. She pled not guilty to the indictment, which carries a maximum penalty of up to 8 years in custody, a $250,000 fine, or both; 3 years of supervised release; and a $100 Special Assessment. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charge is merely an accusation, and No Moccasin is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The investigation is ongoing, and Assistant United States Attorney Marie H. Ruettgers is prosecuting the case.
No Moccasin was released on bond pending trial. A trial date has not been set. The case is a stark reminder of the serious consequences that can result from reckless behavior.
The federal government takes involuntary manslaughter cases very seriously, and prosecutors are working tirelessly to build a case against No Moccasin. As the investigation continues, the community is left to wonder what led to the charge.
The community is still reeling from the news, and many are left to ask questions about the circumstances surrounding the case. The federal government is committed to seeking justice in this matter, and we will continue to follow the case as it unfolds.
The case is a sobering reminder of the importance of accountability and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their actions. As the trial approaches, the community will be watching closely to see how the case is resolved.
