The mother accused of beating 4-year-old Nahla Miller, who died after nine days on life support, has been charged with murder and will face the death penalty, prosecutors announced Monday.
Nahla spent nine days on life support before dying from her injuries. Prosecutors had previously charged Robinson in Nahla s beating but added charges regarding her death.
