I htought the same thing, but after re reading it, I think they were looking back on her preganancy with the baby she tried to kill and what a "loving, caring" mother she was.

I missed this story the first time around, apparently. How horrendous!!! From your link...

Graham now says she was not responsible for the injuries to Jarron Troop, who has since recovered.

Glad to hear that the little boy has recovered, but I can't believe she can try to say she wasn't responsible for the injuries - she swung him like a bat, OF COURSE she's responsible!!!!! Argh. :behindbar

I don't even know what to say. It seems obvious to me that people shouldn't get so messed up that they don't know they're hurting their children. But I'm starting to think that what seems obvious to me isn't all that obvious to the general public.

For shame.

Drunk or not, it is no excuse. I think she knew what she was doing and figured she could really "get at" the baby's father by hitting him with his son.

I'm glad the baby is getting better. But she deserves every minute of the 5 years she'll spend in jail.

Graham had pleaded guilty in March to aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child, but withdrew the plea in June. A jury convicted her in October of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, simple assault and child endangerment.

I hope she has to serve all 10 years or maybe some of those tough women in there will see that she never gets out.

May 2009:

Erie County Judge William Cunningham set bond Tuesday for Chytoria Graham, 29, and her mother posted $20,000 cash within hours. She was sentenced in 2007 to up to 10 years in prison for aggravated assault and other charges. She is appealing her conviction and sentence to the state Superior Court.

In her appeal, Graham claims the public defenders who represented her at trial were ineffective.

May 2009:

That window of freedom -- opened just over two weeks ago -- might soon slam shut.

The state Superior Court issued an opinion on Thursday rejecting Graham's appeal of her 2007 conviction for swinging her infant son like a baseball bat.


On Friday, Judge William R. Cunningham, who had granted Graham's motion for bond on May 5, rescinded his bond order and directed Graham to report to the Erie County Sheriff's Office by Wednesday for transport to state prison, where she will resume serving her sentence of five to 10 years...


Graham appealed her conviction on several grounds, all of which the Superior Court rejected.

The Superior Court said a videotape of Graham's confession to police shows it was voluntary.


"She appears coherent, albeit somewhat tired," the ruling said.
