Jessica FaxThe aunt of a 3-month-old infant who died of skull fractures in 2012 has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the girl’s death.
Jessica Fax, 29, was sentenced to 35 years this morning in Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman’s courtroom.
Prosecutor Charlie Minor said it was a tragic situation and the family did not wish to relive the horror in a trial.
Jeremy Fry, the father of Elizabeth Mia Fry, discovered his daughter’s dead body at about 10 a.m. on Oct. 9, 2012 in his 5909 Fort Sumter Drive home.
A later examination would show the baby suffered five major skull fractures and died from those injuries.
