8-year-old Sayra dies from alleged abuse by stepmother, father faces third trial for failing to protect.

Cledir Barros, a father from Gwinnett County, is set for a third trial on child cruelty charges linked to the death of his 8-year-old daughter, Sayra, who died in January after allegedly being beaten by her stepmother with a rolling pin. Previous trials ended in mistrials due to hung juries. Prosecutors argue Barros failed to protect Sayra, while the defense claims he was unaware of any abuse. The trial is scheduled to begin soon.
