(Joe Phelan/Staff Photographer)AUGUSTA — A judge has kicked a Waterville lawyer off the case defending a former Oakland child care operator from a manslaughter charge in the death of a child in her care. Lisa Barney, 56, of Oakland, is facing a manslaughter charge in the Aug. 31, 2023, death of a 4-month-old child at her in-home child care business, Little Angel’s Family Child Care. The child had attended Barney’s child care so, as part of that investigation, officials pursued whether the child could have been injured while in Barney’s care. The agency oversees licensing for child care providers. State records indicate she was licensed as a child care provider from May 22, 1997, to Nov. 16, 2023.
