A woman pleaded not guilty Wednesday to murder and other charges stemming from her 4-year-old daughter’s death following an alleged assault in the family’s South Los Angeles home nearly two years ago.
In a May 3 court hearing, the girl's 18-year-old brother testified that his mother kept"slapping and slapping'' Eternity that day, and that he also saw his mother choking his sister and"kicking her while she was on the floor.''
He acknowledged that he would sometimes play-fight with the girl, and that she had fallen at one point from a bunk bed probably about a month earlier. "It just seemed very calm in the house,'' Holguin told the judge, noting that it was unusual under the circumstances. Officer Elizabeth Armendariz of the Los Angeles Police Department, who was summoned to the hospital, testified that she observed the girl with multiple contusions to her face and"visible vomit in her hair and coming out of her mouth'' after she had already been pronounced dead.
Smith began to cry after being approached at the hospital and indicated that she thought people were trying to blame her for the girl's death, the officer said under cross-examination by Smith's attorney. Smith told the investigator that her children alerted her that the girl had collapsed or fallen, and that her middle son was known to play rough with the girl, according to the investigator.
