The jury deliberated for about an hour before delivering the unanimous verdict Thursday against Ariel Robinson, 30, of Simpsonville, news outlets reported. She made no comment before Judge Letitia Verdin sentenced her to life in prison on a charge of homicide by child abuse.
Verdin acknowledged Robinson’s attorney’s statement that his client snapped but asked, “Why let this child suffer?” “Praise God,” said Vickie Phares, the toddler's biological great-grandmother. “Justice was served for our baby.” Austin Robinson pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting homicide by child abuse last month. He faces up to 20 years in prison. A sentencing date has not been scheduled.
