BRISTOW, Okla. A Creek County jury convicted a Meeker woman on Wednesday of enabling child abuse in the death of her 2-year-old daughter.
The jury recommended a prison sentence of 27 years for
Raye Dawn Smith, 27. Jurors deliberated for about 2 1/2 hours before returning with their verdict.
Smith, who could have received life in prison on the charge, lowered her head and cried, "I don't understand. Help me," when the 12-member jury announced its unanimous verdict.
Prosecutors said Smith bears responsibility for the injuries that killed 2-year-old Kelsey Smith-Briggs.
"This trial is about her accountability," District Attorney Richard Smothermon said during a 45-minute closing argument in the felony child-abuse case against Smith. "This defendant abused her child. She either did it or let it happen."
As he spoke, Smith wept at the defense table next to her attorney, Steve Huddleston.
"Tears do not absolve you of your accountability," Smothermon said. "Kelsey Smith died died."
