GUILTY MI - Gabby Barrett, 4, dies of burns, Sumpter Twp, 1 Jan 2018 *B. Fields GUILTY*

[Hraefn]

Defense legitimately just said "Gabby is not on trial, so I'm not trying to....she's a four year old."
This attorney is rubbing me wrong.

"Merely being present doesn't make you an aider or abetter" - Defense

Just got caught up watching the trial. So sad for Gabby. The hell she went through with these two subhumans.

She could have died for any ONE of these injuries;

Blunt force trauma to the head.
Burns (and resulting infection/shock)
Asphyxiation (in addition to embedding her front teeth into her upper lip)

ETA the dental neglect and infection also.

 

[A2FMNST]

The DA, in his opening statement, said the state believed that after Gabby was scalded for the final time, that uterus and her boyfriend tried to peel off her burnt skin! WTF

I assume that is what all of the dam bloody gauze laying all over was.

Please jury, make the call.
