Makisha Brown and Leroy Rolle were both found guilty manslaughter yesterday.<\/p>\n
A Supreme Court jury took just over two hours to return a guilty verdict in the murder trial of a mother and her live-in boyfriend, who were charged with brutally beating her one-year-old son, to death three years ago<\/p>\n
Around 4:38 p.m. Monday jurors found Makisha Brown, 25, guilty of manslaughter eight to four and her boyfriend, Leroy Rolle, 19, guilty of manslaughter 12 to zero<\/p>\n
Prosecutors alleged that the couple inflicted fatal injuries on Levano Brown sometime between March 14 and 17, 2007.<\/p>\n
On March 16, 2007, the little boy was taken to a local clinic in an unresponsive state and subsequently died while in hospital.<\/p>\n
Pathologist Dr. Karyn Sands previously testified that the injuries that caused the death of the little boy were not accidental.<\/p>\n
In fact, she told the court that during the autopsy she observed severe external injuries to the little boy’s head, abdomen and limbs.<\/p>\n
The doctor went on to tell the court that the toddler had six broken ribs, brain hemorrhaging and a lacerated liver.<\/p>\n
She also observed older injuries on the child, which she said were in the process of healing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
