How many Cymbalta and Ambien total did she take in a 24 hour period? Was she trying to kill herself? Is she addicted? Was she taking these medications when Uriel died? I wonder what her everyday temperament was?I know what version I believe...
While Mr Nix was out, the Defendant ingested two Cymbalta and Ambien and fell asleep while E.S. was left unattended sleeping in a chair.
After she awoke approximately 10 hours later...

During that time, the Defendant fell asleep while E.S. was left unattended sleeping in a chair.
After she awoke...
Notably, the night before, the Defendant ingested time released Cymbalta and Ambien
She may be severely addicted, but she may also have dementia to the extent she took her meds over and over because she didn't remember taking them.How many Cymbalta and Ambien total did she take in a 24 hour period? Was she trying to kill herself? Is she addicted? Was she taking these medications when Uriel died? I wonder what her everyday temperament was?
Is husband supporting her in all this?
Ezra and Urial's parents are still fighting for justice for their babies. I wish them all the best!
I sincerely hope both cases will be used in this trial. I have always thought how upset I would be as a juror if I acquitted someone on limited knowledge and then found out they had done something similar before.Here is the court schedule. Looks like there is a motions hearing related to the Williams rule on 9/19/24. I believe that is to decide if the facts from Ezra’s case (drowning death) can be used in the current case ( Uriel’s death in hot car
)
It also looks like jury trial is scheduled for 11/4/24.
"In cases involving the accidental drowning of a toddler, Florida appellate courts have stated that a one-time lapse of judgment would not establish culpable negligence of the caretaker. (However, if the caretaker was shown to have repeatedly allowed the toddler access to the water hazard and not taken steps to prevent, that would establish culpable negligence). In the 2021 incident, there was insufficient evidence to establish culpable negligence”
They do not have a fair chance of getting justice for little Uriel since the judge isn't allowing Ezra's death to be discussed in this trial. The jury needs to know this isn't her first crime against her grandchildren to fully understand and deliver proper justice.The trial starts tomorrow, finally. The article below has a great interview with Kaila, mother to both Ezra and Uriel who each died while being “watched” by Tracey Nix. ( though the trial only covers the death of baby Uriel)
“HARDEE COUNTY, Fla. — A Hardee County grandmother is scheduled to go on trial Monday for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died. As the ABC Action News I-Team first revealed nearly two years ago, this is the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care.”
“Wauchula is a small town of less than 5,000 people, where everyone knows everyone. But few can fathom the grief Kaila Nix feels. It was her mother who left her daughter, Uriel, in the backseat in November 2022.
ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.”
“I think overwhelmed would be probably the very best word I would have," Kaila said of her mindset. "And no matter where this goes, this is not going to be a win for me. This is a lose, lose, lose for me.”
“The I-Team first met with Kaila and her now husband, Drew Schock, in the Spring of 2023, three months after their daughter Uriel's death.”
“A little girl. How do you forget a little girl?” Schock said in tears.”
“Kaila had gone to get her hair done that day and had asked her mom, Tracey, 65, to babysit. Temperatures in Wauchula had reached 90 degrees that day. Her mom's Lexus SUV was parked in the yard with the windows rolled up.
When one of Tracey's grandsons arrived, the complaint affidavit said that "all of a sudden," it "came across her head" that Uriel had been in the SUV all afternoon. Her husband, Nun Ney Nix, immediately began CPR.
Tracey, a former school principal in Hardee County, was charged with aggravated manslaughter.
According to the Hardee County Sheriff's Office complaint affidavit, Tracey told a detective that after she drove home from lunch with friends, she "just forgot" about Uriel.”
“Less than a year earlier, three days before Christmas 2021, 16-month-old Ezra, Uriel's brother, also died while he was at his grandmother Tracey's home. He drowned in a nearby pond.”
“Kaila said it wasn't until charges were filed against her mother in the death of her daughter Uriel that she learned they had attempted to file charges in her son Ezra's death.
In a statement, the State Attorney's Office told the I-Team,
“Under the judge's instructions, Ezra's death will not be mentioned during Tracey's aggravated manslaughter trial for Uriel's death. “
“Despite the fact that he is not allowed to be entered into this trial, we will have to come to a grip of closure in this circumstance. And so regardless of the outcome, learning to find peace either way is going to be very heavy," Kaila said.”
"I feel like if it's a conviction or a plea, then it might be easier for some. But I'm still her daughter. I still will sit down and I will still picture what that looks like for my mom, who is an older lady. And I am grateful to the Lord above that my heart has not turned callous and cold and rigid. There's been years of interviews and court and signs and posts and just reaching and screaming and shouting and begging and pleading to be heard. To have a fair shot at justice for my daughter," Kaila said.”

I have followed this case from the beginning, but please forgive me, I don’t remember. Do we know if TN had a full cognitive, mental health and/or competency evaluation?

I would think that if she had been diagnosed with dementia she would have been found unfit to stand trial?I have followed this case from the beginning, but please forgive me, I don’t remember. Do we know if TN had a full cognitive, mental health and/or competency evaluation? The only way this behavior makes sense to me is dementia or drugs, but I don’t think either one was publicly stated to be the cause of these tragedies?
Omg! I didn't even think about that.She may be severely addicted, but she may also have dementia to the extent she took her meds over and over because she didn't remember taking them.![]()
Agree. I think even mental health would have been announced and she would have to be evaluated for competency before standing trial.I would think that if she had been diagnosed with dementia she would have been found unfit to stand trial?
I don’t know what to think at this point, other than my heart goes out to the babies mom. Can’t imagine being in her position.The trial starts tomorrow, finally.

I don’t understand why Ezra’s death can’t be mentioned and explained to the jury that, according to the appellate court, there was not enough evidence to establish culpable negligence in that case. But that the two incidents do show a pattern.They do not have a fair chance of getting justice for little Uriel since the judge isn't allowing Ezra's death to be discussed in this trial. The jury needs to know this isn't her first crime against her grandchildren to fully understand and deliver proper justice.
You’ve got that right!if she actually cared about her family, she would plead guilty so as not to subject them to more stress
I didn't see anything that caught my eye on her profile.If you type in Tracey Nix on FB and click on posts, there's some interesting comments on the first post that comes up.
