Wow, she's looking a little malicious now.

 

[HayLouise]

Timmins: Everything she did was in extreme indifference to human life. Not careless neglect, not an accident.

Timmins: they had money for drugs, they had a dog that was cared for, while Sterling was rotting in the bedroom.

[HayLouise]

Hawbaker: What proof is there of "why" it happened. "They can prove child endangerment, but there is no 1st-degree murder."

Hawbaker: they have to have malice for murder. where is the state of mind of evil, of hatred. There is no proof of if, no proof of mailice.

Hawbaker: If Harris had fixed purpose, evil, there would have never been babysitting, etc. He could have just died.

I think it's evil, hateful and malicious to kill a baby by neglect. Especially while taking care of everyone else in the family, including the dog.

 

[HayLouise]

Hawbaker: The experts agreed that Harris was depressed. Daughter able to survive bc she was able to approach her mom to get needs fulfilled

[HayLouise]

Hawbaker: Harris, now sober and not suffering from depression, she looked back and reflected that she messed up

[HayLouise]

Hawbaker: We accept the conviction for Ct 2 (child endangerment causing death). Not murder. There is no murder without malice.

[HayLouise]

Defense is done, state setting up for rebuttal.

Timmins: Sterling died a violent, prolonged death. Almost better the parent who throws a baby against the wall

[HayLouise]

Timmins: We don't have to prove intent to kill. What matters is the result happens bc of her actions.

[HayLouise]

Timmins:Is it reasonable to believe she was so depressed she was incapable of caring for her son for 10-14days,when able to careFor daughter

[HayLouise]

Timmins: she was able to post to Facebook, Instagram, etc. They cleaned up the house, got rid of drugs before deputies came.
