Tradezsha Trenay Bibbs gets life for beating infant to death’ A 29-year-old mother in Texas will spend the rest of her days behind bars for killing her infant daughter, beating the 4-month-old child to death. Harris County Judge Robert Johnson on Monday ordered Tradezsha Trenay Bibbs to serve a sentence of life in prison for the brutal slaying of young Brielle Robinson, authorities announced.

According to a press release from the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, prosecutors at trial argued that Bibbs decided to kill her daughter “because the baby’s father no longer wanted a relationship” with her. Bibbs was convicted by a jury on one count of felony murder in her daughter’s death following a one-week trial.
“Our office stands up for all victims, but a baby is the most innocent of victims,” District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement. “We believed that a life sentence was appropriate for this brutal murder and a Harris County jury agreed.”
Bibbs had previously been convicted on one count of capital murder, but that verdict was overturned after an appellate court reasoned that the jury was not permitted to apply the felony murder standard in Bibbs’ initial case.
According to court documents, officers with the Houston Police Department on April 16, 2016, responded to a call about the suspicious death of a child at Texas Children’s Hospital. Doctors at the hospital told investigators that the infant was brought in suffering from multiple rib fractures in different states of healing and other traumas involving “several organ systems,” including a brain bleed and laceration of the liver.
