What that means is that if she is convicted, she will only be able to be found guilty on one of the charges.
Caringer called 911 shortly before 3 p.m. on Jan. 6 to report the child had fallen and hit his head. Detectives say that she changed her story multiple times.
An autopsy concluded that Lucas suffered a number of internal injuries to his head, including a skull fracture and retinal hemorrhages.
Caringer is due back in court on June 2, 2009.
Amanda Theede and Sean Bennett have filed a wrongful death suit against Caringer.
Lucas' mother, Amanda Theede has a blog about Lucuas here.
