JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – During Brianna Williams’ sentencing hearing Friday, someone read a statement on behalf of the Jacksonville mother who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of her 5-year-old daughter.

In the statement, Williams said: “I accept full responsibility for everything. ... I blame no one but myself.”

Williams, 30, faces from 20 years to life in prison in the death of her daughter, Taylor.

Judge Kevin Blazs said he’ll be taking everything he heard during Williams’ two-day sentencing hearing into consideration and will hand down his sentence for her on Tuesday.

Sentencing for Brianna Williams will resume Tuesday, judge says

The sentencing hearing for Brianna Williams, the woman who pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder in the 2019 death of her 5-year-old daughter Taylor, continued Friday.
www.actionnewsjax.com www.actionnewsjax.com

The sentencing hearing will continue on Tuesday. Defense requests 20 years. Prosecution requests LWOP.

Defendant is admitting her guilt, and apparent remorse. She left Taylor Rose in a closet for days, without food and water. And left her decaying body in the closet until she took her away wrapped in a shower curtain, and dumped Taylor Rose, like trash.
 
Good grief. What is there for that judge to consider? That poor excuse for a mother tortured her own flesh and blood to death and left her to rot before tossing her out. Does the murderer get a leniency pass because she admitted to her evil crime? IMO LWOP is the only just sentence and should have been handed down already.
 
Expressing remorse after being found guilty rings hollow. Taylor Rose wanted a mommy who loved her and made her feel safe. What she got was a sadistic monster who deserves to spend the rest of her life in a cell. She’s too dangerous to walk freely in society. MOO.
 
Aside from the clearly obvious fact that this woman is diabolically evil and should rot in a cell….

Am I the only one in utter disbelief that people saw this 5 year old baby wandering around this apartment complex alone on more than one occasion, KNOWING the “Mother” was not there and did NOTHING?! And these people appeared on the stand to have some sense! My grandson is 5 and the thought of him being left to fend for himself for any amount of time is horrifying. This just boggles my mind….

Right??!! Justice for little Taylor Rose. I still don't have a solid understanding of what this "mother's" issues were/are. With all she was able to accomplish in life and yet simultaneously starving/abusing her own child to death... it does not compute in my mind. But I suppose it shouldn't....
 
I'm so glad this has been resolved relatively quickly. So many sweet babies never receive justice, and/or their murderers employ tactics to drag out the legal processes as long as possible to avoid justice. They have the right to do so, but at least this time the killer will pay.

Jacksonville mother sentenced to life in prison in death of 5-year-old daughter

A Jacksonville mother was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison in the 2019 death of her 5-year-old daughter.
www.news4jax.com www.news4jax.com

The defense asked for a 20-year sentence, and the state asked for life. Prosecutors got the sentence they were hoping for. Blasz told Williams that he took no pleasure in imposing the life sentence with no chance for parole.

“Considering the aggravating and mitigating factors, I want to ensure that the community is protected and that the sentence is rendered in a way that those not dishonor the life of Taylor Rose,” Blasz said.

Williams did not say anything before she was led away from the Duval County courtroom.
 
Starving a child to death? Zero potential for rehabilitation, ever. Too bad she won't be missing any meals. Now, we get to house her, feed her, clothe her, provide free medical care, recreation, protection, for the rest of her life. For starving her own child to death.
