Cecil Kennedy has pleaded not guilty to the toddler's manslaughter. 9News
Kennedy was looking after the 21-month-old and his own child while Jordan's mother, Bernice Swales, went to the shops with her daughter and Kennedy's two other children.Jordan had been sleeping most of the afternoon and she wondered about waking him up beforehand and taking him with her to the shops, she told a court on Monday."'He'll be fine, it's OK, don't worry about it,'" Swales recalled being told.
Kennedy said something about the toddler having fallen either into or out of the bathtub, Swales told the court, unable to remember specifically. Crown prosecutor Kate Nightingale earlier told the jury she expected the other woman would give evidence about Kennedy calling her from a payphone and talking about giving a child tablets to help them sleep.
