The parents of the 11 month-old girl found dead last week entered a plea of not guilty.

Kenneth Lain and Tiffany Coburn appeared in court Friday morning. They are not accused in having a direct role in her death, but are rather charged with felony counts of neglect of a dependent, carrying a maximum of two and half years in prison.

WSBT reports that they were both appointed public defenders.

Kenneth Lain’s cousin Justin Miller allegedly disposed of the little girl’s body in a wooded area after saying she died unexpectedly while left in his care. Miller faces a count of neglect of a dependent resulting in death, a level one felony with a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison.

He’ll be in court Tuesday, and Mercedes’ parents have a pre-trial conference scheduled for September.
