As Alessia Pifferi, but in the United States. Another story of a mother who leaves her little daughter, this time aged 1 year and 4 months, to starve to death. It happened back then in Cleveland Kristel Candelario, 32, went on a 10-day vacation to Puerto Rico in June 2023, leaving baby Jailyn in a playpen. “Just like you didn’t let out. Jailyn from his imprisonment you should still spend the rest of your life in a cell,” Judge Brendan Sheehan said in sentencing. Therefore, life imprisonment for a murderous mother, he writes The Washington Post.
The little girl who starved to death
Forensic pathologist Elizabeth Mooney determined that Jailyn died of starvation and severe dehydration and ruled Jailyn’s death a homicide, the newspaper reports.The Huffington Post.
Prosecutors said Kristel Candelario dressed her daughter in clean clothes before first responders arrived, but Mooney revealed in court that she found feces on Jailyn’s hands and feet, under her fingernails, in her mouth and on her teeth. Mooney’s voice trembled as she described the “appalling” circumstances of the baby’s death, claiming Jailyn had experienced extreme and prolonged suffering in the week before her death.
“The Last Act of Treason”
“You committed the ultimate act of betrayal and left your little girl terrified, alone, unprotected, to suffer what I have heard is the most horrible death imaginable, without food, without water, without protection,” said Judge Brendan Sheehan, who also accused the woman of not showing «no remorse». At his sentencing earlier this week, the judge compared Kristel Candelario’s life sentence to the prison sentence her daughter served before her death. “The only difference – he concluded – is that the prison will at least give you food and drink.”
