NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - A Norfolk man whose infant daughter died
from starvation will spend 15 years in prison.
A Norfolk Circuit Court judge sentenced Corey Bryant on Monday.
Bryant was convicted of second-degree murder and neglect in July.
Prosecutors said Bryant's daughter, 10-month-old Miracle Bryant,
died on April 8, 2008. Her twin sister, Heaven, was hospitalized
for months.
A forensic pediatrician testified during Corey Bryant's trial
that the girls had been starved for at least five-and-a-half
months.
Bryant's wife, 22-year-old Heaven Smith, pleaded guilty in March
to similar charges. She is awaiting sentencing.
Bryant testified during Monday's hearing that he didn't know his
daughters were being starved.
