So, Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Might Go to Jail

Billy Bob Thornton‘s daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was charged with manslaughter earlier this week, and will be sentenced next month.

Brumfield was charged in the death of a friend’s one-year-old child, who died as a result of a “fall from a crib.” Though Brumfield was acquitted of first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges, the manslaughter charge still stands.

Amanda claims that the child was attempting to climb from her playpen, and upon success, she fell on her head. Brumfield then waited two hours to call for help. The child sustained extensive brain bleeding, and a three and-a-half inch fracture of the skull, and died later the same day. According to the state medical examiner:

Garavaglia said Olivia suffered so much head trauma that she would have been unconscious within minutes and dead within an hour. Garavaglia said there is no way Olivia could have suffered such serious injuries by falling from a playpen.

“That is my opinion. Over 25 years. Backed by literature. That is not how the child died (by accident),” Garavaglia said.

Such a shame. That poor child.

I wonder what Angelina has to say about all of this.
