Prosecutor: Mom Killed Baby By Putting Drugs In Sippy Cup So She Could Relax And Smoke
A Pennsylvania mom who prosecutors say gave her baby fentanyl in a sippy cup so she could return to smoking pot was found guilty in the child’s death.
Jhenea Pratt, showed absolutely no emotion when she was convicted Tuesday of involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of her 17-month-old daughter. The jury acquitted the mom of homicide charges in the April 5, 2018, death of her daughter, who was poisoned by a fentanyl cocktail at their East Hills apartment.
Prosecutors say Pratt fed her baby the fatal mixture because she wanted to “sit back, relax and smoke marijuana,” according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
