McLean awaits preliminary hearing decision

The jury trial for Brandie McLean, 28, Joplin, on two counts of forgery and one count of endangering the welfare of a child is scheduled to begin Monday, July 25, before Judge Jon Dermott in Jasper County Circuit Court, according to court documents.
Ms. McLean had originally pleaded guilty to the charges, but withdraw the plea after she discovered that it could keep her from regaining custody of her children. The endangering the welfare charge was filed after her two-year-old was on the roof of her home in Webb City, where she living at that time. The Division of Family Services took her four children away from her. One of the children, Braxton Wooden, 8, was shot to death at the Alba foster home in which he was placed.
