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. I don t think folks understand the torture, the pain and the senselessness of what happened here, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said.
When Nahla died, she was only 23 lbs and severely malnourished, Deters said.
