An Edmonton woman was found guilty Friday of manslaughter in the death of her five-year-old daughter, who showed up in hospital with brain injuries experts said were often seen in car crash victims.
The woman, who is in her 30s, was charged and pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, failure to provide the necessaries of life and assault with weapons, including a belt and a spatula.
Court of Queen s Bench Justice Avril Inglis said there was not enough evidence to convict her beyond a reasonable doubt on those charges.

The woman, identified in court as “LL,” was charged with second-degree murder after her daughter “S” died in an Edmonton hospital on Oct. 16, 2015. S suffered a brain injury that one expert likened to those seen in victims of high-speed car crashes.
