Chasity Wodzinski, the maternal aunt of five-year-old Keaton Boggs, was convicted on Friday, March 25, 2022 of allowing the abuse that caused the death of her brother’s son.

I’ve covered Keaton’s story extensively in the past, both on the blog and on the podcast.

Chasity is the third of three defendants convicted in Keaton’s death; her husband, Peter “PJ” Wodzinski, and her mother, Michelle Boggs, were convicted last year and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years. Chasity will face the same sentence when she is sentenced, which is scheduled to take place in May.
