The child, identified in court documents as \u201cL.M.,\u201d died on Jan. 28 as a result of the alleged neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to investigators, McCray had recently been transferred to Fort Benning, and Bradshaw joined him a short time later while pregnant with the child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Court records do not specify the child\u2019s age or when the family moved into on-base housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army investigators executed a search warrant at the home the day the child died and found two dogs \u2014 a male hound and a female Doberman \u2014 that \u201cappeared severely malnourished.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both animals were taken to a shelter, where veterinarians determined they suffered from \u201csevere malnourishment and significant muscle wasting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During interviews with investigators, McCray and Bradshaw said their son had shown no signs of illness before his death. They also said they had buried a third dog, a dachshund that died from an illness, at a park off base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigators instead found the dachshund discarded in a trash can behind the home. A necropsy determined the dog died of starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Court records show both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges on June 11. They were released on bond and placed under pretrial supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCray, who is currently the subject of discharge proceedings by the Army, was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation. Once separated from the service, he is to report to his parents\u2019 home in Georgia. Bradshaw was authorized to reside at a women\u2019s shelter in Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither defendant is permitted to possess pets while awaiting trial, although McCray\u2019s release conditions were modified because his parents own dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their next court appearance is scheduled for July 22 in federal court in Columbus, Georgia. If convicted, they could be sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A soldier and his girlfriend have been charged with murder after allegedly allowing their
