Right, because NV’s attorney has stated repeatedly that she has no criminal history.
Who in the heck falls asleep whilst a baby is in a bouncer seat!!! Especially when you’re babysitting a friend’s baby. This would have been a huge red flag to po,ice I assume.Death Penalty case! The news article cites other similar cases, one in particular where the defendant was facing a DP sentence, and took a plea deal accepting a sentence of LWOP. I'm guessing that's what they're moving eventually towards offering her a plea deal.

DA seeks death penalty against San Diego woman accused in Shadyside newborn's death
The Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office will seek the death penalty against a California woman accused of killing her friend’s newborn...www.post-gazette.com
Police said Ms. Virzi had no “plausible explanation” for the severity of Leon’s injuries. She told them he’d been acting normally and was sitting in his bouncer seat when she fell asleep for a time, according to the complaint. She awoke and went to the kitchen to get a bottle, she said, when she heard the baby screaming.

IMO? A liar.
Woman accused of murdering friends baby faces death penalty
Nicole Virzi, 29, has been accused of murdering six-and-a-half-week old Leon Katz and injuring his twin brother while she babysat that them at the family's Pittsburgh home.www.dailymail.co.uk
LE is using the word “torture.”
It’s unbearable to imagine.
IMO child abuse does not suggest only long-term. Once is enough to be abuse.
I do not believe that TWO babies being spontaneously injured on the same day is coincidental. If you’ve had children, or have taken care of children, a six-week old would barely have the muscular strength or control to launch himself out of a baby seat.
I'd want to have another source re: this the DM is not an error free source. MOOO.
Local Pittsburgh news.
Looks like DM pulled it directly from local news. To me it looks like for #3 the victim may or may not be under 12 years old.... but there Is a HISTORY of Felony Convictions. Wth!?!?!?!
Your link refers to reasons to seek the DP in this case re: 3 & 4, not OTHER child victims of hers previously for which she was convicted of felonies that do not come up in records searches bc don't exist. I think they misunderstood the point of the DA. MOOO. People in the DM are on about maybe she has sealed juv records, etc., but, I think was poor wording and the implications are in error. MOOO. Seek the DEATH PENALTY IF she is CONVICTED of crimes against these twins.Local Pittsburgh news.
“Torture” stated by the District Attorney as one of the reasons to seek the DP.
Prosecutors seeking death penalty in case against woman accused of killing baby in Shadyside
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against a woman who was charged in the killing of a 6-week-old baby.www.wpxi.com
The DA was talking about the sentencing phase FOR THIS CASE if she is convicted. The DM misunderstood or misinterpreted although they admit that no record of such convictions can be found. Because it doesn't exist. Poor wording and the DM goes for clicks. JMOOO. The DA was enumerating the basis for seeking DP at sentencing if convicted, not describing her priors. It was not disclosed prior bc not factual re: this defendant. But, if one day it is, re: these twins, that is how they intend to pursue DP at sentencing.
IMO the bolded and underlined (by me) quote has been taken out of context. If you look at the link below, it's talking about what aggravating factors Pennsylvania law prosecutors can cite for the death penalty.
They sell baby protective scratch gloves. I know babies do scratch their own face sometimes, but it's probably nearly impossible for them to reach towards their genital area. Anyways, I can't imagine how her defense attorney can spin it to make those injuries be normal.
