HONOLULU (AP) - The stepmother of a 5-year-old girl who prosecutors allege was beaten to death by her father testified Friday that she and the former Hawaii soldier abused the girl regularly, escalating to her death.

Delilah Williams said in the capital murder trial against Naeem Williams that they decided to pull the girl, Talia, out of elementary school because they worried that school officials would notice the abuse and have them arrested.

"She started having marks on her body," Delilah Williams said, noting that she and Naeem Williams dressed the girl in clothes that covered the marks while the special needs child was still enrolled in school then left her at home by herself after they pulled her from classes.

The testimony will satisfy terms of a plea deal the stepmother made with prosecutors in which she acknowledged her role in killing the child as part of a pattern and practice of assault and torture. The agreement calls for a 20-year sentence.

Delilah Williams - who worked as an administrator registering children for daycare at Schofield Barracks - said she and the father repeatedly cursed at Talia, called her names and hit her almost daily.
 
MOO
Each article has more disturbing details.

It's heartbreaking.

:(
 
Just heard of this case and have been following Teghan Skiba case. To say I'm disgusted and sick is an understatement. Why, why, why are these children subjected to such torture? I want to scream. I hope mom wins her case against the U.S. Army.
 
Infection led to girl's death, doctor testifies at Naeem Williams' trial

HONOLULU — A second defense medical expert gave jurors in the capital murder trial of former Schofield Barracks soldier Naeem Williams yet another theory of how Williams' 5-year-old daughter, Talia, died.

Jan E. Leestma, a pathologist and neuropathologist, told the jury Tuesday that the girl died from "infection of the peritoneum, the tissue behind the gut, and bacterial sepsis."

Sepsis occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight infection trigger inflammation throughout the body.

Leestma testified in U.S. District Court as a witness for Williams.



This seems to be grasping, IMO.

Jurors in Hawaii are set to begin considering whether a former soldier should be sentenced to death or life in prison for killing his 5-year-old daughter.

Jurors deliberated for about a day before announcing a verdict Friday finding Naeem Williams eligible for the death penalty in the first capital case in the history of Hawaii’s statehood.

The jury returns to court on Wednesday to begin hearing testimony about whether he will be sentenced to death or life in prison with no possibility for release.
