Thigpen originally told police that his kids had been sleeping in a room in the trailer when the air conditioner lost power, causing the room’s temperature to increase to a dangerous level, which prosecutors later found to be a lie.In a second interview, Thigpen confessed to leaving the children in the van.
‘The worst aspect of it is that Mr. Thigpen did not tell the truth immediately when he found he left the children in the car,’ said Judge Tyler Gill during the sentencing hearing.‘This is a perplexing situation and probably the saddest guilty plea I’ve ever taken.’ A man who said he was Thigpen’s father at the sentencing hearing said that it has been ‘a few rough years’ for the family, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
Thigpen pleaded guilty to a count of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of first-degree assault.We’ve got to protect our children, you can’t live by accident…. shouldn’t have been left with these kids after being up for 24 hours. This was just a tragedy waiting to happen.;
