8-year-old Sayra Barros was killed by her stepmother in Gwinnett County, GA, and her father is on trial for child cruelty.
8-year-old Sayra Barros was killed in Gwinnett County, GA, by her stepmother Natiela Barros, who allegedly beat her with a wooden rolling pin. Her father, Cledir Barros, is on trial for child cruelty, as prosecutors argue he failed to protect her from the stepmother's abuse. Initially, both parents faced murder charges, but Cledir's charges were dropped to child cruelty. The defense claims the father was often absent as a truck driver and unaware of the abuse. The jury will continue deliberations on Monday after closing arguments and previous discussions.
