Emilie Kiser’s husband Brady will not be charged with child abuse following the tragic drowning death of their son Trigg, who was just 3 years old. A new statement from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, released on Friday, July 25, indicates that there is “no likelihood of conviction” against Brady. On May 12, while Emilie was out with friends, Brady was home alone caring for Trigg and their other son Teddy, who is only 3 months old, when the unfortunate incident took place. The statement noted, “Surveillance video from outside the home revealed how the drowning happened and the actual sequence of events.” It further explained, “To convict someone of this charge, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury that the individual failed to recognize a significant and unjustifiable risk, and that this failure was a gross deviation from the standard of care a reasonable person would exhibit.”

The statement elaborated, “Every case submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is assessed using the same criteria: whether there is a ‘reasonable likelihood of conviction.’” It continued, “Following a thorough examination of the evidence provided by Chandler PD, it was concluded that this case does not meet that threshold. The MCAO’s evaluation involved the attorneys assigned to the case, along with highly experienced senior attorneys and the County Attorney herself.” Brady’s attorney, Flynn Carey, addressed the case update through a statement shared with various media outlets. He expressed, “We are thankful to law enforcement and the county attorney for their comprehensive investigation and for confirming that this was a tragic accident.” The statement concluded, “Brady is currently navigating the grieving process and is grateful to be surrounded by his family as they heal together. We appreciate the kindness and support extended during this challenging time.”
