“From the Jury Box”
July 11th, 2013 by Joe Burgess
Following Wednesday’s 20 year sentence from a jury of 6 men and 6 woman to Victoria Pedraza for Permitting Abuse of a Minor for the death of her infant daughter, MLive spoke to an anonymous juror about what topics the jury felt were the most influential, during their deliberations.
We were told that the phrase “wreckless endangerment of a minor”seemed to sum the situation up very well.
Although the jurors felt empathy for Victoria; as Aubriana’s mother, she failed to protect the child on several occasions, one of which led to the child’s death.
The jury’s deliberations took around an hour, included much discussion, and only a couple of votes to reach a unanimous verdict.

And they say justice is blind. Oh no, she can see very well. My only hope is that this lady hears her daughters screams every time she closes her eyes for the rest of her life.
GiveMeABreak i agree w/ you. I think she should ne serving life w/o or on death row. I cried when I read how that child was treated. It makes me MAD as He#% how that child was treated.
Amen
She knew what was going on, she had been through the same but yet she did nothing to protect her daughter. She is just as guilty or more so than the father, she allowed it to continue.
Lord my heart ached and tears flowed from my eyes reading everything in this case. I have been a “victim” of domestic violence. I was scared and intimidated but I knew after the first time, I had to do everything in my power to protect my children. It meant losing everything and starting over but, Thanks be to God we made it. Maybe now that sweet angel can rest in peace.
I hhave known this girl she never showed not hide nor hair of being a person yyoung lady who would do nor let happen. she was all about her army career. I aalso have been put in the monticello live light for something blowed out oproportion. Is it her crime or just the chance to condemn someone who has been held for there crime. she may have done all that she stands accused of. but but big but. thou shall not judge lest he be judged. my heart goes to hefamily .
