Hearing set in python death case.

Pretrial hearings are scheduled for 1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 8, for an Oxford couple charged with third-degree murder in the death of the woman’s child.
Charles Darnell, 33, and Jaren Ashley Hare, 20, were charged with third-degree murder, manslaughter and child neglect after an 8-foot Burmese python in their home killed 2-year-old Shaiunna Hare.
An autopsy revealed that the girl died of affixation after the python escaped from his cage and attacked her.
Shaianna Hare was reportedly asleep in her crib in the house at County Road 466 near Oxford Wednesday morning, July 1, 2009, when the snake slithered into her room, wrapped around her and strangled her to death.
Investigators said after her autopsy that Shaianna died of asphyxiation consistent with being crushed by the eight-and-a-half-foot python.
“The medical examiner’s preliminary report listed asphyxiation as the cause of death and confirmed that the marks on the girl’s head and arms were bite marks,” according to Lt. Bobby Caruthers, of the sheriff’s office, at a press briefing conducted shortly after the deadly incident.
According to a subsequent Aug. 13, 2009 article in the Times, about a month after the death of Shaianna Hare,
Darnell was arrested for selling cocaine to undercover agents after a weeklong investigation.
On March 25 he was sentenced to a year-and-a-half in jail for sale of cocaine.
