Jury selection is slated to begin Tuesday in the trial of a Jacksonville mother, who is charged in the death of her 14-year-old daughter.

A judge on Tuesday denied a motion to dismiss a criminal case against a Jacksonville mother charged in the shooting death of her 14-year-old daughter.

The defense for a Jacksonville mother charged in the shooting death of her 14-year-old daughter filed new court documents this week suggesting the teen’s killing was the result of a ricocheting bullet.

She said the gun discharged as her daughter gave the weapon back. Guthrie said her daughter followed her into her room and grabbed the handgun from atop the TV set. She told police her daughter began playing with the weapon before she handed it over voluntarily. “Guthrie took the handgun and put her finger on the trigger and pulled it,” the arrest report said. “She stated she was surprised when the gun went off.”Struck in the head, the teen collapsed to the floor.
