Understatement of the Century: “I May Not Have Been a Perfect Mother,” Says 19-Year-Old Whose Baby Died After She Hit Him… Because He Was “Possessed”
There are few stories that so greatly test our commitment to the prohibition of the death penalty as this one does:
According to her attorney, [Amber Lynn Bracci] hit the baby because she thought the young boy was “possessed.” …Bracci, 19, and her boyfriend John Weaver, 20, both face homicide by child abuse charges in the death of 16-month-old Rowan Bracci. Bracci’s bond was denied. … A $50,000 bond was set for Weaver. …
The coroner says the boy died of head trauma early last month. …
“I went in there and picked my son up out of bed at 10:30 in the morning and he was limp,” Bracci said while on WCSC-TV in Charleston. …
“I may not have been a perfect mother. …”
