A 21-year-old Mississippi mother was sentenced<\/a> to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Monday after she admitted to repeatedly slamming her two-month-old daughter down onto the ground multiple times, killing her.<\/p>\n

The district attorney called the crime “unexplainable and heinous” and witnesses watched the violent act take place on May 12, 2022, including the baby’s grandmother. Witnesses said Mikaylia Shaylynn Jolley was “grabbing a baby by the ankles and slamming the child.” Police received multiple 911 calls about the incident. When police arrived, they learned that after slamming her baby’s body, Jolley left the baby girl in the road and ran into the woods.<\/p>\n

The baby girl, Khalysie Lashay Jolley was taken to the hospital where she died from her injuries two days later. Those injuries included brain swelling and bleeding, extensive skull fractures, a broken left thumb, a broken right elbow, abrasions, and hemorrhages to her eyes.<\/p>\n
