Josie Dikeman is accused of first-degree intentional homicide in the death of 6-year-old Alexavier Pedrin. Authorities say Dikeman called 911 in February 2023 when the child was unresponsive, and an autopsy later revealed he died from blunt force trauma, with a sedative also contributing. Investigators allege a history of abuse, with witnesses reporting repeated violence and prior medical concerns, including a suspicious femur fracture, before his death. Dikeman was reportedly dating the child’s father at the time of the little boy’s death. She faces life in prison if convicted.

Dumb and dumber haircut prosecutor acts like a snarky 13-year-old girl
If the bag was on the top shelf how did it end up on the floor next to Alex? Or am i getting it wrong?
I guess it jumped off the shelf by itself lol
Prosecutor is money. What a talented mind. Incredible.
I’m surprised no one brought up the explaination that alex might unalived himself. Even at that age thoughts like that exist.
Why aren’t we talking about Alex might intended to do it?
There is no way Derick could have done it. There is no way Derick could’ve given him the Xanax because he was arrested at 7:30 PM the night before if he had given him Xanax, the effects of the Xanax would’ve been in his system a lot sooner than revealed in the autopsy. I think Derek is an abusive man and a shitty father, but I have no doubt that Josie is the murderer. Give us also no way that any child is going to take those kinds of pills on their own. He wasn’t one years old.
@carolp5993 I’m not talking about derek
@Netbase2000 yes I just realized that lol sorry. But why do you think that Alex did it himself? Im curious. I dont think the little boy wanted to die. There’s no evidence that he did. He couldn’t have beat himself.
@carolp5993Yea, I know it’s absurd but my problem is that we still don’t know how the Xanax came into his body. I still have questions.
Solved in water maybe? many Children have a problem swallowing Pills. Did he chew them? But these are bitter. Did josie force him? And if so, how?
Excuse me…… Your Honor, abd attorneys….
Why is Derek Pedrin mentioned in jury instructions?! He isn’t the defendant in THIS CASE.
6:08:10 counsel…… incense…. incense, weed, vapes, cigarettes… all produce “smoke” without fire.
